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."

J.K. Rowling Reveals ‘Harry Potter’ Character Dumbledore Is Gay...
is rowling suggesting that dumbledore takes a wide stance???
***All she has to do is say this and the far right will scream, book sales will jump, and she will smile.***
You may be right, but there could be another reason. Perhaps Rowlins is gay. Has anybody ever heard the reason for her divorce?
That might be the case or she likes man on man action instead.
LOL!
She stated he’s GAY!!!!
Glad I don’t hav emy kids reading this trash.
The witchcraft stuff was enough. Now she’s seducing kids into believing that being “GAY” as a wizzard or a HEADmaster is okay too!
LOL!
You’ve been duped by the LEFT AGAIN!
Kids now believe that being “gay” is okay because they LIKE the character. HOW NICE!!! LOL!!! FOOLS!
Like I said in another message thread here, I think Dumbledore stopped being gay or took a vow of abstinance after his relationship with Gellert Grindelwald turned really sour over the untimely death of Albus’s younger sister Ariana Dumbledore. Because of that sordid past, this explains why Dumbledore never took the job of Minister of Magic, because that past history would have become public in the wizarding world and Dumbledore would be forced out of office in very short order. Dumbledore instead became Headmaster at Hogwarts, a good place that will ensure his sordid past was unnoticed during his lifetime.
Yeah, ah ... HEAD MASTER!
Guess HEAD and it’s ineundos are true for this gay character!
LOL!
The LEFT dupes the kids into seeing “gay” is okay and better than that - MAGICAL and in an authority position.
The media LOVERS GAY ADVOCATION!
THAT’S why it is “news”.
Nah, just HEAD
Master!
Harry Potter fans, the rumor is true: this is the third post of the same story:

They must be deleting the extras because it’s been posted at least 5 times.
Rowling is setting herself up to be a joke. Bottoms up!
Oh, now she tells us! Sounds like she is hoping for a spike in sales from the Gay community (by “outing” characters on at a time). She will no doubt reveal that Harry was bi-sexual as well (and perhaps Malfoy was transgender).
LOL! You nailed it. Satire and sarcasm on people who take fiction entirely too seriously. The holy equivalent of Trekkies.
But it's not in the books, so I'm trying to convince my daughter it's not "canon" even though it comes from Rowling.
But announcing Dumbledore's sexual history to a "young fan" at a concert hall packed with young fans? Sure doesn't sound right to me. I've told folks here before Rowling has inserted left wing concepts in her books, but everyone got all upset. Now that she's telling kids her most illustrious character is gay AND aiming it at Christians, let's rethink that.
“Gay” is a contemporary political term for someone who is an active homosexual, and advocates for homosexual activity. Since, in the books, Dumbledore is neither of those, he is not ‘gay’, in the stict sense of the word, so it doesn’t change my enjoyment of the books in the least.
Yep that is what it is a ploy for more leftist sales. But again, these are made up characters. She is pretending one gay. I have never read one of her books, but I am guessing since she has to tell people, her books don’t have sex scenes in them or then there would be no doubt.
Of course there were probably already leftist pretending this character was gay. There are also lots and lots of readers who would not even consider this at all, ie 9-12 years olds.
Actually, Dumbledore is non-existent. He never existed. He is a fiction, and can be imagined to be whatever anyone wants him to be. He can be an albino dwarf with a club foot, if that’s your fancy. Rowling was clearly just pandering to the PC mob pushing the homosexual agenda, to show how “modern” she is.
Game, set, and match. They stop the presses and shout from the rooftops anything that pushes the Sodomite agenda. She will have a ton of money and prestige, even if nobody buys another book.
The lib publicity/propaganda machine is seen and heard everywhere, hence we are discussing it.
