Juli: I am NOT homophobic, if people are gay that's fine with me. BUT 
if someone I love and cherish all of a sudden is gay, I feel left down. 
Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. 
It's hard to explain without offending anyone. My brain knows 
homosexuality is just how a person is, they don't chose to be gay, just 
the way they are, like being tall or short. It's in their genes. But 
the back of my is against homosexuality. It is probably because I come 
from an old catholic family. So when Jo said that Albus is gay, it hurt 
me. I looked at him as a role model, as a person to admire, so my old-
fashioned soul just can't cope with it. I saw Albus as a father figure 
(even to me), and for me dad's just aren't gay. I know there are many 
gay fathers, and they are indeed great parents, but I've never met one. 
For me the idea of a family is mother, father, children. I hope I 
haven't offended anyone, if so, I am terribly sorry
