Well, he was the Headmaster of a school where kids spent the night. How long til he is made into a pedophile by those same parents?
_______________________________________________
NEW YORK — Harry Potter fans, the rumors are true: Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay.

J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall. After reading briefly from the final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," she took questions from audience members.

She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds "true love."

"Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause.

She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. "Falling in love can blind us to an extent," Rowling said of Dumbledore's feelings, adding that Dumbledore was "horribly, terribly let down."

Dumbledore's love, she observed, was his "great tragedy."

"Oh, my god," Rowling concluded with a laugh, "the fan fiction."

Potter readers on fan sites and elsewhere on the Internet have speculated on the sexuality of Dumbledore, noting that he has no close relationship with women and a mysterious, troubled past. And explicit scenes with Dumbledore already have appeared in fan fiction.

Rowling told the audience that while working on the planned sixth Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," she spotted a reference in the script to a girl who once was of interest to Dumbledore. A note was duly passed to director David Yates, revealing the truth about her character.

Rowling, finishing a brief "Open Book Tour" of the United States, her first tour here since 2000, also said that she regarded her Potter books as a "prolonged argument for tolerance" and urged her fans to "question authority."

Not everyone likes her work, Rowling said, likely referring to Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft. Her news about Dumbledore, she said, will give them one more reason.

Hey... I just read that today. My boyfriend said that there was speculation for a while that he was.

Having those gay feelings and emotions are fine, it's acting on them that's disgusting and abnormal.
Like, having feelings of wanting to kill someone is fine, but acting on those feelings is not such a good idea ...unless you like the idea of spending life in prison.
Like, having pedophilia feelings and emotions is also fine, it's the acting on those feelings that's not so well accepted in the world of today.

I'm sure sirius black was gay too.

I bet if Valdemort was gay, no groups would care, but since it was Dumbledore...
I can see more book burnings on the horizon.

Well, good on her. She is diverse, in all aspects then considering that racism, bullying and even sexual orientation is not beyond her literal capabilities.

I thought they were all gay.

I thought they were all gay.

bisexual

Especially Ron.

Then, is not our young star supposed to be playing a gay role as a bond?

Especially Ron.

haven't you read the books. Ron and Hermione got married and had heterosexual acts of passion.

Ron is definitely not gay.

Sirius black is because he is a handsome man not interested in women and had decorated his room in gryffindor colours. very suspicious.

:-)

No i haven't read the books; watched the films.

I read so much science, i never get to read other book... :-(

So Ron is straight>? Wow>?

Remember that big wardrobe? I always thought when he looked in to see his biggest fear, it would be himself hiding in the cupboard.

No i haven't read the books; watched the films.

friend,

you don't have time to read the best books in the world, but you do have time to watch the shittiest movies in existence besides LOTR?

your lovin' pal

Baron, Haven't you noticed yet that this same thing is coming up over and over. Everyday there is heated discussion similar to this topic, then the thread gets closed. Only to open another similar one the next day, so that when we start talking about Gays, or Pedophiles we just get jumped on all over again about how we are Homophobic or Gay haters etc :bugeye:

I am starting to see a pattern......by the same people.

Another gay wizard!

literally.
lol

this people calling "gay" is so symbolical with the USA society degradation. Dumbledore is as any man on this planet and what he chooses to wear is his right.

I never even realized people cared about the sexuality of a pretend character, now I have to wonder about Batman and Robin. :confused: I don't even want to know about Aquaman. :eek:

your the one bringing this up, you are the one thinking about a pretend character. Obviously a pretend character has a real human behind him, why are you punishing him for?

Way to reveal your lack of prejudice by equating homosexuality with pedophelia and murder!

LOL, he would never say he wasn't prejudiced.

Man. It's just Baron. He's been here for ages, doing the same thing. It's what he does.

The xians are already furious due to ooooh "witchcraft" do you really think that they have anything left?

yeah, the gay thing. I'm surprised they haven't questioned the relationship between that grumpy groundskeeper and his cat.

That man was known for being tender and passionate. But then a woman ripped his heart out by cheating with his best friend.

poor filch.

True. How can a fiction character outside of a movie or novel have an existence? Folks at the end of a book or movie often ask 'I wonder what ever happenned to...', etc. The answer is NOTHING.

I've always thought The Hobbits where a bit gay...

You know who's definitely straight, He- Man. He looks like he loves pink and seems like he's into a bit of breath control play.

I thought they were a bit ghey.

a bit gay? They ooze homosexuality.

Baron Max

there is nothing abnormal about homosexuality in fact it is quite common in nature

Yes... i'm sure we have had such descussions. I do not agree when people say it is not natural, because quite natural creatures such as swans and dogs can be very homosexual...

So Baron, are you openly admitting that you have such gay feelings, but you would never act on them because they are detestable?

Oh... and what a terrible analogy... from someone who wants to kill someone, to someone wanting to have sex, and then comparing them by practicing them... Why is it i find killing much more a less-frequent phenomena to than compare it with gay sex?

Dumbledore also was no stranger to the feeling of wanting to kill someone, or even not wanting to kill someone and still killing someone.

It is rumoured that Dumbledore killed his own sister, although it could also have been gellert grindelwald. We will never know due to the confusion.

The girl is dead nonetheless.

LOL, yeah, a pretend girl that never actually lived. If anyone killed her it was JK Rowling.

let's nor forget that Aberforth was there too.

Of course wizards are gay, they wear robes . . .

I bet a whole lot of people will now have nightmares about Dumbledore's meetings with Harry. "And all that time - he was thinking about his other wand!"

But I'm sure the slash fiction folks are ahead of Rowling on this.

Although Harry always has been lousy at occlusion I am sure he was a better master of his sphincter.

But people! Sirius black asked Harry to come and live with him!!!!

need i say more???

didn't Harry live in a closet before going to Hogwarts?

didn't Harry live in a closet before going to Hogwarts?

Yeah, but not for long. He soon took over Dudley's extra room after he threatened his caring family with wizardry violence.

These gay closet living wizards even admit to conspiring to bring about a new world order. Doesn't the book openly state that they keep us "Muggles" stupefied while running the world to suit themselves?

Do you want the world to be run by a minority who think they're "special" because of the satanic magical powers they no doubt sacrificed babies for?

Wake up, sheeple, before it's too late!

this sentiment is not shared throughout the wizardry world. Gellert Grindelwald and the dark lord himself, Voldemort and his deatheaters do indeed share the opinion that muggles are there to serve the masters, the wizards. However, most wizards do not. Even the pureblood wizards such as the Weasleys.

Ok, I can't tell if you are joking or a serious loon

what do you mean?

Both, actually - a joking loon . . .

Dumbledore sure didn't act gay. You don't see him prancing around like a school girl in the movies. Unfortunately, Rowling's announcement will give foder to the Harry Potter haters as an evil book, when she made it look like Dumbledore is a pedophile because he is running a school for children. What was Rowling thinking? Extremely stupid move.

What a load of shite. On behalf of all gay people (and all straight pedophiles) I pronounce you potatohead.

NO!! They have to buy the books in order to burn them! SMART move!!

Damn that Rowling! Commercial genuis!

Isn't molesting a boy if you're a man a gay act? And S.A.M., are you gay? (or are you just sticking up for gays?)

what is it with you and gays? Yes, I'm asking you, the guy with the erotically posed loinclothed winged (fairy??) man avatar.

Nietzschefan has a point. Now I want to punch you in the head.

It's the logo for Led Zeppelin's promotional company. He should be punched again for profaning Zepp.

Oh! I didn't know we needed a reason. :D

What's the problem, gays? Isn't molesting little boys a gay act? It's male on male, isn't it?

Led Zepplin is reuniting for their last concert ever! Unfortunately, the damn thing is in London in November. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham. I once saw Plant and Page playing Zep tunes, but I don't remember much. I was drunk off my ass and smoke filled the air. I also fondly remember G n' R when they opened for Areosmith in '88.

What's the problem, gays? Isn't molesting little boys a gay act?

No.

Why is molesting little boys not a gay act? Sure seems like a gay act.

is masturbation a gay act?

No, so long as you aren't thinking of Liberace while your doing it.

Its a man touching a man for sexual pleasure.

No, it's a man touching himself for sexual pleasure. Let's not play semantic games here.

you are sooooooooooooo gay. Aren't you? You gay yourself up...daily??
:D
And are you also anti-semantic??

Why am I gay? I'm sure my wife (female) would be interested in hearing your explanation on that one. I am not anti-semantic, provided it's a good semantic argument which your's isn't.

...I'm sure my wife (female) ....

you actually have to tell people your wife is female??

Sure. Because half these sciforum posters seem to be gay. "Wife" might mean man "wife". Get it?

I thought that was weird too ;)

At least hers is properly punctuated.

Why is molesting little boys not a gay act? Sure seems like a gay act.

The objection was more towards you conflating homosexuality and pedophilia.

I thought that was weird too ;)

Darksidz (WHY) slipped when he said "female" lol

Yeah, Darksidz kinda outed himself with that didn't he.

What's the problem, gays? Isn't molesting little boys a gay act? It's male on male, isn't it?

If you are heterosexual, would you molest little girls?

Sure. Because half these sciforum posters seem to be gay. "Wife" might mean man "wife". Get it?

You should make a poll on that.
