Albus Dumbledore,master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts,is gay according to author J.K.Rowling.She was taking questions at Carnegie Hall recently when a young fan asked if Dumbledore finds "true love".Her response is that Dumbledore is gay.Does that mean that Dumbledore can't find true love because he is gay?Her answer could have been yes or no and the fact that he is gay is of no importance especially since it was never part of the written story.Some have speculated that J.K.Rowling is just trying to boost sales by now getting another segment of the population to buy.I highly doubt that since gay people have been reading all along.I have.J.K.Rowling told the audience that Dumbledore was in love with Gellert Grindelwald but was forced to defeat him in a wizard battle between good and bad wizards.Dumbledore's love was his great tragedy but never apart of the story as written.I think we get a much better idea of Dumbledore and why he is who he is now that we know more about his past.J.K. Rowling found it neccesary to hide this major fact in the Headmaster's life for whatever reason but has outed the beloved character at last.
