Oct. 21st, 2007 07:45 pmSo I just heard earlier today that apparently JKR has admitted that Dumbledore is gay (and had a hot, hot affair with Grindewald...slashers, you're canon now, go forth and multiply!), which is cool and all though she really needs to let Remus Lupin out of the closet too. But apparently not everyone's happy to hear that the most powerful wizard in the world was a bit light in the loafers:
Sadly, No! offers us: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Homos"
When Don Surber, the brightest guy in West Virginia and the dimmest guy in journalism, read that Albus Dumbledore was gay, he was beside himself. He spit a partially-chewed Slim Jim on his computer monitor and tossed an almost full can of Fanta Grape soda across the room in a rage unparalleled since he heard that the Dukes of Hazzard was being cancelled. So Don cleaned off his monitor, saving the larger bits of the Slim Jim for later consumption, and fired up an outraged blog post for the Charleston Daily Mail...
You can read it in its full indignant glory here. While you're there, be sure to check out the comments, Clif describes them as 'a real corn-dog and fried Snicker fest over there.'
One wonders if the fundies will make a bigger deal of this (i.e. "Oh noes, the gay!") than their previous squawking about satanism or if they'll just wrap all their hatred up into a big ball of fury and start holding mass book burning parties. Rage-gasms ahoy I'm betting. Should be good for some chuckles.
