First, clue about bigotry....
Anyone who responds to a question about who is queer, by talking
about "homosexuality" is probably just a wee bit bigoted...
Maybe, it's an age thing, (stereotypical behavior is fading fast
these days) but to respond to the gay man who posted...
re: DD and GG
It was a dead give away.....there are DD and GG with their arms
around each other laughing.....and after they had spent the day
together, an owl would come tapping at the window with a "new
idea."...But really, the plum colored suit? If you're 60....that was
a big clue...
Also, that was JKR being a total delight...being playful...The real
deal is that JKR made the most powerful (and flawed) wizard in the
world -- gay..and then said that it was not news to her that a
powerful, beautiful, loving man could be gay...
Of course, not all gay men are into beautiful clothing, some of them
look as straight as John McCain....for every lesbian or gay man who
delights in playing into those stereotypes, there are many who are
not stereotypical at all...
Anyway, back to the question...I have a feeling that Professor
Grubbly-Plank might be a dyke....or trans....or perhaps Madam
Hooch....
JKR is mostly heterosexually oriented...despite DD being gay...so I
think she envisioned most of her characters as straight......also, a
lot of the story is Harry's point of view, and he and all his friends
are heterosexual, so he has a hard time thinking out of that box..
Who knows? Maybe she'll tell us more in her encyclopedia...
