It's on the same level as tweens watching Willow on Buffy.
Excellent point.

Dumbledore is gay?? How come none of us knowed that? I'm with those who had an "Oh God, I can't know that!" experience, though. Not because I'm homophobic, or anything. But simply because of the idea of oldies having sex evokes a mental image I dare not go to. It's even hard to accept it of your parents. I remember this funny Seinfeld bit, where he hopes to be adopted; because then maybe, maybe it's possible his parents are really just very good friends. :)
Dumbledore's orientation, however, I found of no pertinence to the story, at all. Otherwise, more power to him!

Why, again, is this so gorram important?
Ooh, aah, the dudes gay. So are quite a few of my friends.
As long he didn't, I dunno, sodomize Harry or someat, I don't see the big malfunction.
Did the moon rid itself from our orbit? No.
The worlds not bloody ending because a dead gut from a book series turns out to like oter guys in that way.

and every time I play with passion I start breaking strings,
and my voice cracks when I sing from my heart
guess that's the price I've got to pay to know that I'm alive
this melody is tearing me apart
THRICE RULES!!!!!!!!!

I think the Wizard of Oz was gay too.
And maybe Don Quixote as well.
Also, Robinson Crusoe was bi-sexual, and Heidi of the Alps was transgender. What a complicated world we live in now.

Wow, some great comments here! When I first read the news, my knee jerk reaction was "It'll hurt the kids", but that was quickly squelched. We try to teach our kids to be accepting and tolerating of all people, regardless of what might make them "different". So I agree with those who say it doesn't matter, because in the end it doesn't. The story always was about Harry, and his life. Dumbledore was a mentor, friend and that's what matters to Harry.
BTW, for the other thread about most heart wrenching/amazing sci-fi moment, when I read Dumbledore's death, I was stunned. In the end, he was a great man(even fictional) and that is what's important.

I don't think Don Quixote was gay. He had his eye on that serving wench.
In truth, being gay has no bearing on the story of Harry Potter. I am surprised it ever came up.
Why not make Harry gay?
It just doesn't matter.
