[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Who is queer?

[Kimberly]

When JKR released the information that Dumbledore was gay, it made me 
realize something.   The story may have started as hers but it became 
"ours".   There are descriptions and inferences that JKR has mentioned after 
a story has come out that I just don't infer when I am reading.   In her 
mind (and yes I realize it's her story) Dumbledore may be gay but honestly, 
to me, he wasn't gay before she said that and he wasn't gay afterwards.  I 
didn't pick up on anything homosexual about him so his character didn't give 
me that.   Her simply saying doesn't change the life of his character that 
came from the pages and lines of 7 books.

It's truly one of the things I love about books.  It can be read and 
interpreted in different ways by different people.  The things we pick up 
from a piece of literature are personal to the person reading it.

Dear red,

Can you explain, why? 5% of people are gay,lesbian or bisexual.Why
not despide Dumbledore some other characters of the HP Universe? what
do you think about fictional HP stories with queer topics. Do you
know, that in gay HP fans is often a secred love between HP and Draco
malfoy od between HP and Ron. If you see this one, you would believe
it:



And what is with professor Strout or Grabbe and Goyle (maybe they are
lovers?)?
