20070627_radcliffe_260x220.jpgIf you read the last book of the “Harry Potter” series – you probably remember this whole story about Professor Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of the school – in his youth. There he was, studying alongside some handsome dude who later turned out to be the most evil guy in the world. They spoke pretty, well, fondly of each other.

And you know, we kinda suspected, but thought we were reading too much into it. Like “A Separate Peace” or “Fight Club.” We found ourselves wondering, “is this gay?”

Turns out –uh, yeah.

Last week, at a Carnegie Hall reading hosted by Scholastic books, J.K. Rowling took a question about whether or not Dumbledore ever had a love interest. And her response, “I always thought of him as gay.”

She went on to say that she once had to correct one of the series screenwriters over a line where Dumbledore referred to a woman as a possible love interest.

Cheers to J.K! Talking about magical geriatrics in front of a group of schoolchildren takes guts, and we think it’s about time someone leveled with children that there are gay role- models to look up to in books they’re reading.
