Is that the reason why he likes birds?

J.K. Rowling revealed this secret when she appeared before a full house at Carnegie Hall. A young fan asked if Dumbledore finds “true love” and Rowling answered simply, “Dumbledore is gay”.

She further explained that Dumbledore is smittened with none other than rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated in a duel before.

I don’t mind if he’s gay. Actually, if he is a real person, I would have been glad if he does come out of the closet for real. But will this revelation cause another ruckus among religious groups who are against homosexuality? If you will remember, a lot of Christian groups and even deluded parents protested against the publication of Harry Potter books because it allegedly promotes witchcraft (which I think is a lot of B.S.) and that it make sorcery and witchcraft enticing to the reader. Why don’t these people just stop being obsessed about meddling with how other people decide to live their lives and just focus on how to enrich their own in whatever ways they find it right and fit for them?

And so now, with Dumbledore out of the closet, will groups protest again and push for banning the Harry Potter books from children’s libraries just because they think these books “promote” or “encourages” homosexuality?

Oh, please. Not again.
