The Sergeant Majorette says
In my young days, I knew way too many gay men. Some of them were fine
people, some of them were psychotic junkies, some of them were really
annoying, and some of them were boring and totally lacking any sense
of style.
I like the idea that Harry and Cho should never have happened. So JKR
decided to cut her narrative losses, good. To Weasley Cousin World
with poor Cho.
Why are we carrying on as if "gay" was an accusation? We seem to
agree that there is/will be no actual sex until after Book VII, at
which point JKR intends to abandon these poor young people to the
dreaded fanfic monster. As for speculating on Harry's relationship
gender preference, we are simply adding a dimension to the age
old "He likes her! He totally doesn't like her! She LIKES him likes
him!" lunchroom debate. And yes, it is ridiculous, which is sort of
the point. It's ridiculous for a grownup lady of a certain age such
as myself to be so completely immersed in the world of a children's
book, but my inner 14-yr old is totally loving this.
By the way, could Michael Corner be a male Cho? Think Ginny's gay?
