For the Harry Potter fans

In a move much unlike that of Larry Craig, J.K. Rowling publicly declared that Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is gay. Any thoughts?

I don't know that I am excited or indifferent, but really, I've got to go find out how this comes up in conversation.

Thinking of Dumbledore as a sexual creature is, well, kind of like thinking of my grandfather as a sexual creature. Frankly, I don't want to know who he slept with! (Deep down, I am such a prude!)

Well, that certainly changes how to read his relationship with Grindlewald!

Very interesting--but it certainly only confirms my curiosity why there was no Mrs. Dumbledore--or even any mentions of past loves. And yay for Rowling for adding an even deeper level of complexity to her characters. And yay for her not making a huge deal of it.
