So who does the homophobic mocking? Dudley who is a
bully and who
uses any weapon he can against Harry...
and Rita Skeeter...gosh she's someone I think we all
want to
emulate...BUT she is not accusing DD of being gay,
she's accusing him
of being a child sexual abuser, which is probably one
of the worst
things any human being can be. (If we assume which I
think it likely
that that is the meaning of "unnatural".)

There was a request for some research about who
actually are the
child sexual abusers (adults who prey on children most
of whom are
heterosexual). If you want to become informed, here's
the link

Remember Ron ALSO says that Wilkie Twycross is going
to pop the
question to Hermione any moment now...we all know Ron
is immature...
he uses the joke BOTH about same sex and opposite sex
partnerships..
