In an announcement that is sure to spawn terabytes of slash fiction, J.K. Rowling announced that Dumbledore, the uber-wizard and Hogwarts headmaster from the Harry Potter books, is gay. Christian conservatives will happily pounce on this news as it doesn’t involve elected officials or megachurch pastors. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rowling intended this revelation to be a final “fuck you” to all the zealots who tried to ban her books from libraries and schools. I expect to see lots of dudes with long, flowing beards dressed in wizard robes at the next pride parade.
