  Hello,

  Sorry to return to this after so long...

  All the marriages in the book indicates heterosexuality...

  >>>without ever touching on sexuality at all.  Harry Potter probably 
  will be one of those.<<<

  I hope that it will be one of the great classics in the future, but 
  every time a children's book mentions marriage and someone's straight 
  parents, it's subtly mentioning sexuality, heterosexuality in 
  specific.

  I sincerely wish that in a future world, authors can mention that the 
  kid hero has gay parents and that'd be as ordinary as if the kid had 
  straight parents.  That one of his uncles is married to a man and the 
  kid would think of it as normal as the other uncle who is married to 
  a woman.

  It would appear that in our current world, I'm asking for too much.  
  Am I?

  I think it is asking a little too much at the present moment, but in the future, who knows?  Sadly, I think that if Jo included openly gay charachters in her books, even as relatives of the main charachters, there would be uproar in certain circles who like to sweep such things under the carpet.

  P.S. can I say that, as a straight guy, I love the "little Alex" posts.  Keep it up little A!
