Dumbledore's gay?

Of all the random news to come across on Saturday night, I saw this one DrudgeReport.com:

J.K. Rowling Outs Hogwarts Character ...

As I was telling a friend online a couple seconds ago, thank goodness the series is finished and that I won't be reading the books for the first time. Finding out that Dumbledore is gay would put his relationship with Harry in a whole new light. Rowling was right to say that this will give the Christian groups that oppose the books more ammo for their cause. Such is life I suppose. Right now I'm looking forward to the big screen debut of another series that Christian groups love to hate...



The Golden Compass, the first book in Philip Pullman's
His Dark Materials trilogy.

But the Christians can't really complain about that... they have gays and other so-called sinners in real life... so why not in the book?

True, but then they usually don't want to acknowledge them. It's kind of like the families where they are so critical about people who have drug or alcohol problems, but they have that one cousin who's been deported and the nephew selling weed from him yard.

Or like society over here on a whole that acts pure as driven snow, but once you get past that you see how rotten many things really are... trying to keep up appearances.
