...says Jo Rowling: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7053982.stm

 

What do you think? Should she have said this or not? Is it good or bad that she didn't include this explicitly in the books? And who else in the series could be gay..?

Well, i thought of it for a second when reading the book. But its a book for children..:thinking:

And they can't be gay?

jawel,

 

It just doesnt fit in the book to me, i dont know.

I heard somewhere she wants some more respect for gays..well thats a good thing.

Dat is waar =) Als homo zijnde ben ik daar zeer blij mee ;)

 

But hey, she didn't put it in the books, so there you go :) for exactly the same reasons probably.

So maybe his real name was Dumble(back)dore........................ :rolleyes:

Ben je lesbisch?

 

Poor guy, never had a lover :(

Laten we zeggen dat ik iig veel meer op meisjes val dan op jongens ;)

 

Ah yes, the tragedy of unrequited love... Maybe that's what he really saw in that Mirror of Erised ;)

Oh ok, een vriendin van mij is lesbisch en een vriend homo ;)

 

Yeah i think he saw that..or mayb..he had a crush on harry..he likes young boys :lol:

Are you suggesting he was a paedophile too??:stunned:

As a real harry potter fan..i'd say yes :nice:

In that case, perhaps a new poll is needed!:rolleyes:

Wow... she tells us now...?

Does it make sense now that everyone knows that he's gay or does it make no difference?

I bet there'll be a lot of Dumbledores in future gay pride parades.

It makes no difference to the plot...

It doesn't matter to me.

I don't care if people are gay or not.

If it makes no difference then what was the point of saying he was gay?

I think she just felt like it.

I bet there'll be a lot of Dumbledores in future gay pride parades.

 

In pink wizard costumes??:rolleyes:

I dread to think what they'll be doing with their "wands"................... :stunned:

I really couldn't give 2 hoots on if a fictional character is gay.

 

And what's wrong with this thread in EA?

It makes a teeny difference in the plot...it explains Grindelwald.

 

But her telling us after the series is over gives me so many questions? :S Did everyone else know or was he in the closet? Was Grindelwald gay too? When characters would be like, "Oh, He's off his rocker" was that a subtle hint to his sexuality?!?!

ANSWER ME ROWLING! :P

It does put a different spin on why he was so close to Harry

Yes, but as I've already mentioned elsewhere, that would suggest he was a paedophile too, which is extremely disturbing indeed!!:stunned:

What's the difference between Albus Dumbledore and Gary Glitter?

 

Glitter got caught :rolleyes:
