rowling outs dumbledore

in the words of my good friend woody, "who...cares?"

really. a fictional character was always gay in the author's mind. and that's it. he was never gay in the books. so, those of you out there that might take offense, don't. those of you that might want to congratulate her for authoring a strong gay character, don't. because she didn't. she always imagined that the character was gay, but never actually wrote about it. hey, maybe next week she'll tell us how she always imagined that the big hairy guy was really a woman, post op of course.

it doesn't change the character at all because the character in a story is based on what we're told or what we can infer from details in the story. if anyone says they can tell that dumbledore was gay from the story, they're lying. because the author says she didn't do anything more than imagine that he was.

and really, i don't care. i'm just posting about it because i saw it on every news site i looked at today. as if it were actually news.
