I'm sorry, but I think you got the idea wrong, I have
absolutely nothing against homosexual people, in fact
a very good friend of mine is gay, and I love him for
everything he is. But I have this gut feeling that
they are not a couple, I've read the books about 4
times each and not once did I get the idea that they
were lovers, that's why I started this thread, I
wanted to see why people thought they were gay, that's
it. As a straight woman in this world I like to dream
about characters in books, and I fell in *love* with
Sirius since the Shrinking Shack scene at PoA, so
personally it would be a huge disapointment if he
turned out to be gay because then he'd be out of
reach. Of course there can be homosexuals in JKR's
world, I have no problem with that, but I just don't
want it to be Sirius or Lupin. If you told me that
someone else, say Sturgis Podmore was gay, then OK,
good for him, but please let the Marauders be
straight. It's just me, but this is how I feel.
