Good thing that Dumbledore didn’t come out in the books, otherwise the religious right of the wizarding world might have been picketting Hogwarts, claiming that he wasn’t just teaching Wizardry, he was teaching Teh Gay Wizardry. OH NO!
So in case you missed the news, JK Rowling told a stunned audience on Friday that she had always imagined the now famous Head Master from the Harry Potter series as being gay (see the report in the Guardian if you don’t believe me). And my immediate thought was whether she knew it or not JK Rowling just gave all of us homo Harry fans THE BEST COMING OUT WEEK PRESENT EVER! Also, the one scenario where it’s okay to come out on behalf of someone else!
So by the way, Happy (End of) Coming Out Week to all readers, gay, straight, pan, bisexual, queer, intersexed, transsexual, transgender, and friendly. Here’s a little colour to spice up the blog and celebrate:
And for once, I’m going to stay positive, so I’ll save my comments about coming out week, why we need it, how traumatic it can be etc. for later (as in tomorrow, or maybe even later tonight).

Hooray~! Another gay wizard! Maybe Dumbledore and Gandalf the gay should start a Homowarts School of Outcraft and Dragardry.
Across the US, the remaining Christian theocrats who actually allowed their kids to read Harry Potter, are now burning said books.
A beautiful lot of “freedom loving” folks aren’t they?
