By The Power of Dumbledore's Wand!
Okay, first and foremost, because I'm a dork, some spoilers from the Harry Potter books are in this post. If you haven't read them all, there is more to life than Joan Collins. Just so you know.
Okay.
See, if you thought that Ellen Degeneres having a conniption fit on national television because she can't read the fine print was the weirdest shit that was going to happen this week, it just goes to show that you're just not trying hard enough.
Albus Dumbledore is gay.
That's right - JK Rowling made a stop on her book tour in NYC last night, (she spoke at this tiny little jazzbo club called Carnegie Hall, not sure if you've heard of it or not) and when asked if Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter's mentor and friend, had ever found love in his lifetime, (yes, you and I know that it's ridiculous to ask such questions about a fictional character who also happens to be dead, but what we also know is that having more than 3 cats is just WAY too much) she admitted that she had intended him to be gay. Not only was he gay, but also smitten over the course of his lifetime with his boyhood friend and archrival, Gellert Grindelwald, whom he had beaten in an incredibly phallic battle to determine the fate of the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in all of wizardry.
Not really much to say here, actually. Okay, two things. First, you're telling me that Rita Skeeter wouldn't have found out about this first? C'mon. Second, I'd always thought that Severus Snape was the swishy one, myself. I mean, come on - he can usually be found in the potions closet, he was harrassed a lot as a kid, and what's more, he's goth as HELL. You don't exactly need the Marauder's Map to figure that one out.
