I hate this. I hate this! Oooooghhh!! I hadn't even heard rumors of... that fact, but apparently people have been guessing at it for a while.
I opened the article because the headline on Yahoo! said, "J.K. Rowling shocks fans with reveal" or something like that. I dared to hope it would be something like a spin-off or a bit more to the epilogue of the last book, like what happened to other characters... ugh! How disappointing, both that revelation and J.K. Rowling's generalization of Christians.
Dumbledore was my second-favorite character, second only to Hermione, for his wit, his physical strength and presence, and his moral stamina and wisdom. Where would the students be without any of those, especially the last? Hum. I don't know if I can stand reading his emotional moments - those that made me tear up at the sight of how lofty-yet-affectionate he was - anymore. When I read (past tense) the stuff in Deathly Hallows about his relationship with Grindelwald, I took the relationship to be a true friendship, like brothers, and then a false friendship where Grindelwald became jealous and used Albus. Maybe I can choose to look it at that way still, and pretend that Dumbledore had a "connection" with his friend, one of my top ten characters, Professor McGonagall.
Do I sound like being gay makes a person deserving of hate? I always need to check my emotions, and base what I say on God's truth. God's truth is to hate all unrighteousness, but to love your neighbor (everyone Christ needed to die for just like He died for you). I guess after all the hullabaloo with the Watchmen on Walls my liberal local newspaper has been posting, I've been a bit more sensitive, and more quick-to-show-emotions apparently. Look at these letters about it:
