JK Rowling apparently let slip this weekend the news that one of the most important characters in her Harry Potter series, the headmaster Albus Dumbledore, is gay. I must confess I hadn't given the subject much thought, but apparently the HP fandom has been pondering the question for years now. Who knew?
I guess she figured she could put the word out, now that the series is finished and the news isn't likely to impact her book sales (and I wonder what other juicy character details may be forthcoming from her in future). But the Christian fundamentalists will surely dislike her even more now, seeing as how she's promoting witchcraft and homosexuality. *rolls eyes*
