Horrors. JK Rowling outed her own creation, Dumbledore, as a gay man last week. Given that I'm halfway through my third-fourth-fifth? read of Deathly Hallows, my reaction was "duh." I'm much more amused by what's going on in the media, and I've decided that some intrepid reporter should ask each presidential candidate for his/her reaction. And the answer should inform the vote. IMHO, if you have a problem with it, call for the books to be removed from libraries (or if you automatically think it makes Dumbledore a pedophile), you have no business seeking a job as leader of the free world because you definitely have a problem separating fantasy from reality. And we have enough of that in the current administration.
(Thanks to Salon for the great pic, BTW.)
