The insanely boring life…

It is already old news that Harry Potter author, J. K. Rowling, has revealed that Dumbledore was gay and had a crush on Grindelwald.

Even after all this time, people are still making a fuss about it. People are saying things such as, “I can never look at Dumbledore the same way again.” Other people insist that Dumbledore is a paedophile because he spent so much time alone with Harry and that this revelation makes him less of a great wizard because their vision of him as a grandfather-type has been crushed.

I have one thing I would like to say to these pathetic individuals: It should not matter whether Dumbledore was gay, straight, bi or an apple. It doesn’t change a thing about what he did and how he helped Harry. He remains a great wizard because it is written black on white! You can’t argue with that.

There are still other people that refuse to believe this and they believe that this is a fabrication of J. K. Rowling’s imagination. News flash: Harry Potter is a figment of her imagination. Secondly, everyone knows that a good writer plans a book before she writes. She will plan out every single detail of a character, even if she does not write it all out specifically.

She would know if Dumbledore liked apples, oranges, how many purple robes he wore, what is favourite band was and what his Transfiguration teacher’s husband’s aunt’s grandmother (twice removed) cat’s kitten was called. To say that she pulled this information out of thin air is preposterous. There is many evidence in the book to support this: The fact that he had an extremely close relationship with Grindelwald AND the fact that he always wore flamboyant purple robes that inspired stares. Come on! That screams “Gay!”

But all of this is irrelevant. He is gay. JK’s word is law and nothing you think hope can change it. Perhaps in your own homophobic world you can choose to ignore it, but as someone on the HPB IMDB forum so eloquently said: “Gay is the new straight, after all.”

Get over it.
