J.K. Rowling told audiences last night during a talk that Albus Dumbledore is gay. Someone apparently asked about his love life and she said that he was infatuated with one of his rivals, Gellert Grindelwald. Uh, what the??? Why did she have to go there? To each their own I guess - but in literature - after the fact - years later - not written into the novel! What else is she going to reveal? That Harry is a cross dresser and he uses Ginny's clothes while fighting for the Ministry of Magic? Or that one of the Weasley parents cheated on the other and eventually got divorced? Thus is the danger of literature. The creator can do whatever they'd like, even after the fact. After all, the characters they write about are contained purely within their imagination so writers are able to do whatever they want to. That's all I have to say about that!
