And you all thought the Harry Potter drama was over.
Book has been read, podcasts (or should I say, Mugglecasts) have been listened to, and there is not going to be a movie for another year or so. But, wait! It’s back in the news!
From Best Week Ever.
OK, so I’m sure I should be all supportive and PC and pro-gay Dumbledore, but the truth is, I couldn’t care either way. It’s like thinking of my grandpa having sex; doesn’t matter if it’s with a man or a woman, it’s still kinda yucky.
I think the best thing about this whole “revalation” is the fact that most kids don’t seem to care. Take this exerpt from an article on Salon:
“I first heard about the revelation from a 9-year-old friend at a wedding I was attending, who exuberantly announced, ‘Dumbledore is gay!’ without a hint of complaint. When I asked whether the information surprised her, she said, ‘Well, I always thought he loved [Minerva] McGonagall, but I guess he only loved her like a sister.'” (From Salon.com)
So, yea! for our kids being more tolerant than our grandparents. I guess that means we’re doing our job.
And to all the grandparents out there, I don’t need to know who you’re bumping uglies with, male or female. Just let me believe you produced my parents asexually and we’ll all be happy.
