As the author of the fiction, shouldn’t she be entitled to say what she wants about her own characters?
Of course she can say what she wants about her characters, I just meant that it clouded my view of the characters when she made the comment. Jeez!
She can say what she wants, but we're free to ignore her. She had her chance to say what she wanted in the books.
I think it was Orson Scott Card who called her a coward because if she really pictured Dumbledore as gay, why didn't she put in the books? Because she knew it would hurt sales.
