I'm really sorry to do this, but I cannot in good concience let it 
go. I'll save the homophobia bit for now, and get on with the main

such. Second, and I think most important, HP is just a story. It's a 
marvelous one, and it's certianly worthy of the serious discussion it 
gets here, but in the end, it's only fiction.  

I really wanted to stay out of the homophobia, but there's just one 
comment I have to make.

How is this attitude any different from the attitude the Dursely's 
have about magic? What makes one "abnormality" (magic) acceptable and 
another disgusting?
