DUMBLEDORE JOINS NAMBLA

Best selling author of the Harry Potter book series announced in New York's Carnegie Hall that Dumbledore is gay. While this was not explicitly stated in any of the books, it seems that it was subtly hinted at when Rowling described Dumbledore's deep and troubled past and close relationship with soon-to-be rival, Gellert Grindelwald.

To some this is good news and to others it is irrelevant, frivolous and inappropriate. I could be wrong, but I believe most people probably thought Dumbledore was asexual if they even thought about his sexuality at all.

This news does not change the fact that the Harry Potter book series is great but rather it just seems awfully distasteful for Rowling to comment on his sexuality at all. Whats next? Will she assert that he was the founder of NAMBLA?

Thankfully, other writers have bit their tongue. I'm not quite sure how I would react if I found out that Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi had a relationship. Or even worse, what if R2D2 and C3PO were gay?
