Rowling outs Dumbledore

[wolfrose]

I know some people were upset that Rowling seemed to ignore the GLBT community in her Harry Potter series. Well it seems she really did not as now she's saying that one of the most beloved characters was Gay. :)

Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay. J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall. [click for full story...]

Yis! Awesome, innit?

Pertinent: I would have been happier to have a canonically queer character before the books ended, but this is still entertaining.

Not pertinent: I've requested membership in dot_pagan_snark. eljuno can probably vouch for me. Will that suffice, or shall I gather some other references?

Sorry to bother you in your personal journal, but was there any particular reason I was declined from dot_pagan_snark?
