Who is queer?

[Gerlinde Kenkel]

Dear Susan,
 
 <<Anyway, back to the question...I have a feeling that Professor
Grubbly-Plank might be a dyke....or Trans....or perhaps Madam Hooch....>>
 
 Just as I thought, but I guess, both are more dyke than trans. And what do
you think about Mrs. Pomfry (the nurse) as lover of Professor Hooch?
 
 
 Dear Nightbreed,


 <<She outed him first to the screen-writer and director of OOTP. She had to
 because he had a line about being in love with a girl once. After that she
elt confident saying it.>>
 
 I never have hear from that. Do you have some links?
 

<<I think we need strong characters like that and think of all the kids who
will one day have to confront coming out of the closet who may feel a little
more at ease because this monolithic character has helped soften homophobia
amongst his / her peers.>>

We all need positive role models not only boys and girls, even straight and
queer people (bisexual,gay, lesbian,transgendered), and therefore I'm sad,
that JKR don't create a positive gay, lesbian or transgendered character.
