You knew this was going to happen

Once JK Rowling outed Albus Dumbledore. Is anyone surprised that Bill O'Reilly objects? Or that he's once again being a vulgar boor?

I am not living in America
I don't know Bill O'Really.

Sometimes I think the only thing I therefor miss is a sight at the Grand Canyon.

Listening to Rowlings latest comments in Toronto I must admit that Albus' preferences added some intensity to his friendship, but still the plot would had been exactly the same is Dumbledore had been as straight as a wand.

Rowling said something that children will read it as "friendship, grownups as " infectuation"

Now I wonder,
Am I the only faggot in Pottermania who did not recognise a gaylove/relation when it was presented to me on a silver platter?

Was I just too busy to collect the evidence Lupin in spite of his marriage with Tonks still was the gay character I figured him, that I overlooked any other possibilitY?

Point is, any time werewolves come up in a story,I connect lycanthropy with homosexuality, since I once read "Le Lay de Bisclavet" by Marie de France.

Dumbledore gay makes sense in the built up of his character, but it is such a minor point getting so much over exposure that I wished he wasn't gay.
And it seems to shock only the Americans, I haven't heard or read anything like Geraldo-attention or this idiotic O'Reilly type coming from Europe.

Not that I need it, it's such B**S.

OMG, someone else who's read that! *waves*

I was one of the many, many people who thought that if any character was gay, it was Lupin. I still wonder if the Lupin/Tonks subplot was at least partially intended to lay those rumors to rest, since Rowling has admitted that the whole "they get married and have a baby" business was so that she would have a "good father" to kill off to balance Arthur Weasley's survival in the fifth book.

Bisclavret is awesome. And yes, the king and the werewolf were so, so, very gay.

And Bill O'Reilly is git. Sadly he's not the only one. I've spent way too much time this week reading comments on TLC and MuggleNet from the outraged minority. There are quite a lot of them in response to the essay that was recently posted on MN (which, incidentally, is not really that well-written, I wish somebody with a better grasp on Bible study would write something along similar lines).

If she has written the exploits of Lupin in DH
to stop the rumors he was gay,
she did a poor job.
It was that chapter called "the Bribe" that convinced me,
that my slashy desires got it right.
Never for one moment Lupin said he loves or desires Tonks, just that he got her pregnant.
And sorry, I knew a few gays who made the same mistake.

Oh guy, oh guys. I laughed so hard I almost choked when I read this just now:

Actor David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada today for the International Festival of Authors, and gave his reaction to the news from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling regarding Dumbledore. The actor said that he was surprised, because while he was filming “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaba” director Alfonso Cuaron had the idea that Lupin was gay,”and he described my character like a ‘gay junkie’ .”

A GAY JUNKIE????? ;_;

Oh good Lord...is *that* why he had the facial scars? I'm amazed we didn't see Lupin mainlining Wolfsbane while Snape helped with his tourniquet....
