J.K Rowling recently announced that her character Albus Dumbledore was gay in a Carnegie Hall meeting where she was reading excerpts and taking questions.

More than 800,000 words culminate his very existence in this ever famous book series for children to teens, and even popular with adults – yet no where in the book did they find the courage or room to add “I’m Gay!”

Some are saying, why? Why did you announce he is gay, he is not a role model in the book for anyone who is gay since he never openly spoke of it? In addition, it is one more piece of evidence for Christian groups and others who already despise the book as Wicca promoting.

Such an ousting of one of the most beloved characters in her book had no value and may hurt the future of Harry Potter.
