Yippie!

The only letter I EVER wrote to an author was a three page one 
pleading with J.K. Rowling to include a lesbian, gay or bisexual 
character. (The term "homosexual" by the way is considered offensive 
by most lesbians and gay men, and I wonder why some people use it so 
persisitently. I know some people are unaware that it's offensive...I 
guess that must be the reason.)

The transcript does NOT say "unrequited love"..it says Dumbledore 
fell in love with Gellert Grindelvald....Period.

I wonder why it disturbs some people SO much to think that Dumbledore 
might have made love with Gellert Grindelvald....when it doesn't seem 
to disturb anyone about Tonks and Lupin? Hmmmmmm...

I applaud J.K. Rowling - the rest of the transcript talks about how 
the whole book is about tolerance, and how she thinks that that's why 
SOME people don't like the books.....

By the way, who decided that interviews are not canon? If they 
aren't, they shouldn't be being discussed on this list, right? What 
if she writes it down and publishes it -- does it get to be canon 
then? What about the encyclopedia.

And bravo to all the fans at Carnegie Hall who gave an ovation to 
J.K.R's announcement -- long live tolerance.

And how amazing -- not just a minor character either -- but the 
greatest wizard in the world.

Happy, happy, happy.
