…and the rest, as they say, is silence.
On a serious note, though (finally), I am really glad she brought it up, and like she said, this is just going to add to the clamour against her by the right. *However*, for all that, the Vatican did say that the books taught the “difference between good and evil”. And some churches like her, yay!
Actually, I always suspected that Dumbledore was gay. Blue robes? Red hat? Gold Stars?
But I’m glad that she made him gay, there will be a whole generation of children who will know that your sexual orientation does not get in the way of greatness!
Besides, the fanfiction depicting Dumbledore as a gay man, a pedophile etc etc has been around for a long time! Its amazing what bored minds can imagine!

but I is veh imaginative!
And as my boss is fond of saying, good imagination transalates into good ideas. Good ideas are the beginning of great fortunes.
In other words, she can daydream at work while the rest of us bleed from out fingertips.
