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).
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.
