front page news.
Firstly to put my own opinion out, i personally think that this was a very 《勇敢传说》 thing of JKR to say and whilst i support this statement of hers, it doesn't change my perception of the books. Dumbledore is still the wise, old Headmaster who can make mistakes just like any of us, whom i learned to 爱情 over the course of the books.
However, there are many 粉丝 who now think that they can "never read the 图书 in the same way again". I just say, why not? Homosexuality is
growing in our communties these days and i would have thought that most people would be open to it 由 now. 粉丝 have to get over the fact that
DUMBLEDORE IS GAY and 移动 on with their life.
I see no reason as to why this piece of information was all over radio stations and newspapers for a while after JKR revealed it. Just because Dumbledore is gay and in 爱情 with Grindelwald does not make him any different than before but was he in newspapers before? No, and he definitely would not have been if JKR had just made a simple statement such as that Dumbledore was in 爱情 with Minerva in response to the 问题 about Dumbledore's 爱情 life.
Another thing that i find ridiculous is people doubting Dumbledore's fondness for Harry. It does not make any sense to say that there is an unhealty realtionship bewtween the two at all. If Dumbledore was straight and was very fond of Hermione, people would not say that there is "too much fondness" going on there because they would just see it in a non-sexual way. But because Dumbledore is gay that just HAS to mean that he had sexual feelings for Harry. It doesn't make any sense at all.
So, now that my rant on this topic is over i would just like to say that i that i think people should still continue to read the 图书 as they did before they knew this information and after all, it doesn't affect the plot of the 图书 at all and that's what's important.
