Its in the headlines. It came out of the horse’s mouth, so to speak.
Everyone has an opinion. J.K. Rowling is just stirring this controversy to inject life to her fading franchise. Whether kids growing up these days need any more sexual ambiguity and confusion than they already have. J.K. Rowling is the next flag bearer for the homosexual cause.
Some of us knew it all along, maybe because our gay-dar is never wrong. Maybe because Gandalf is gay too. (Incidentally, so is Gimli, Legolas, and those four hobbits.)
Well, who cares? Dumbledore is clearly on the wrong side of 70. He is a Wizard, he could jolly well be on the wrong side of 1070. Whether his prune has no juice, his wand still has a spark or two in it or if magical staff is long and strong, I would not be interested.
I am not homophobic, I work in the “creative industry” where I am exposed to a fair share of inclinations. My view is this, if I am not interested in him personally, I do not particularly care who he consorts with.
Of course, this news comes at the same time that Singapore is having a heated debate about repealing Sections 377 and 377A of the penal code, which criminalises homosexual acts.
Singapore has a policy of not stirring up the hornet’s nest of the religious community’s ire. So the government is sending out the mixed message that they would turn a blind eye to what happens beneath the sheets, while not removing the offending law.
Enjoy the next whole week of discussions, J.K. Rowling.
