Re: Prof. Dumbledore is Gay

OOT could write Dumbledore's coming out better than Rowling by far imo

Dumbledore didn't go from straight to gay, he went to unknown sexuality to unknown sexuality but gay in the current opinion of JKR is gay.

Anyone who thinks there is now a correct, matter of fact answer to the question of "Is the character of DD in the H books gay or straight?" doesn't understand anything about storytelling.

The movies are still going, and according to the articles, this is affecting them (Rowling had to make a script change to avoid a heterosexual aspect with DD). I do get what you're saying, though.

edit: I think Ridley Scott is totally wrong about whether Harrison Ford is a replicant in Blade Runner, so I see where you're coming from. But Scott's assertion doesn't make sense with his film and is worth resisting because it messes with themes, whereas this fits perfectly and is much less important.

The Blade Runner analogy doesn't really work since it isn't an original story by Ridley Scott. I guess it makes sense, but like others I just assumed he was asexual.

She answered a fan's question, dunno how it's out of the blue or gimmicky.

Well I don't see why she didn't put it in the book then tbh

Probably some combination of not enough room and no way to write it well.

Harry: WTF?
Dumbledore: by the way i'm gay imo
