Well, it was new to me

I've been seeing the news about JK's outing of Dumbledore all over my f'list but only this morning saw:

"Oh, my god," Rowling concluded with a laugh, "the fan fiction."

I'm kinda sad. I mean, Dumbledore was a beloved character at all, but was probably at the age where his sexuality isn't even all that interesting anymore. Plus, I'm often a little sad when a fictional character has their sexuality outright stated either way--I like the ambiguity.

Mind, I've only read one of the book and seen three of the movies, but I still would have prefered if one of the characters in the primary age group was the one she outed--I mean, the Weasleys alone had to have had at least one gay child, statistically, right?

I do see what you mean, but the way she did it; someone asked if D was ever in love, and she was just clarifying that yes, that love affair she wrote at such great length about when he was a teen was his great love. so that worked for me.

It would have been nice if she outed one of those in Harry's or his parent's generation though.
