Dumbledore's gay
October 22, 2007 12:00 AM Subscribe
J.K. Rowling revealed that the character Albus Dumbledore is gay. At a press conference, she alluded to Dumbledore's "great tragedy" of his youth in an affair with a wizard who eventually went over to the dark side.

Is James Brown still dead? Cause I don't see anything about that in the sidebar, so, I was just wondering.

Oops. Obviously the search function is broken, as a search for "Dumbledore" and "gay" turned up nothing.

He is NOT gay! He just has a wide stance! You people, and your neverending quest to gayify fictional wizards who love their wives very very much, you are tearing America apart!

Wow, so many replies to a thread that shouldn't actually exist.
In the future, I promise that I will not rely on the Metafilter search function and google everything to make sure it's not on Metafilter, ok? My apologies.

Hey BTGOG! I'm less than an hour away from the Beijing MeFi meet-up. I haven't slept all night, pretending to make a deadline and wasting time on here. I am so looking forward to looking like a zombie in the photos. I'm a skeleton at the best of times.

Lots of people experiment in their youth, only to join the Republican Party when they become adults. It doesn't make them gay.

If there was only some place, say on the front page, where big stories could be linked to to avoid this. Maybe off to one side.

TBQH, I can't believe that this people think that a fictional character being "outed" is sufficiently interesting to be posted once, let alone three times. Bizarre world.

So I downloaded In Rainbows but all I got was a James Brown impersonator explaining that Dumbledore had an affair with a wizard who eventually went over to the dark side. So I downloaded it again and this time the James Brown impersonator said, “That wizard was a man. Get it? Dumbledore is gay. This something you would have had to read Harry Potter to understand. OK bye.”
