I am a long time lurker who just felt compelled to write as I am
shocked by the attitudes some people have had towards what I pretty
much felt was non-news. It doesn't matter to me what JKR's
motivations were for revealing this as it changes nothing for me. I
don't think there was much point in her revealing it but nonethless
I see no reason why people should react to it. I am surprised at the
complete contradiction in your statement Shelley. You said that you
would not have read the books because you do not find books about
gay lifestyles enjoyable but clearly you did find the books
enjoyable or you wouldn't be a member of this group. The fact is, I
understand that you might not want to read a book about gay
lifestyles but this book isn't about gay lifestyles, the fact that
it was such a revelation is because we did not see anything 'gay'
about DD's lifestyle. He just happened to be gay but the character,
that you used to enjoy reading, is the same.
