And I knew this would come up eventually. Look I knew that that's not what she was implying at all, I just meant that she really worded it badly. And my main point was that she only did it for publicity so way to miss that.manic_depressive13 said:I sincerely doubt that she said that.LobsterFeng said:Yeah I agree. I'm not homophobic either, but there's seriously no evidence in the books that say that Dumbledore is gay. (Well to be fair there isn't really any that supports him being straight either but whatever.)
But my point is, Rowling only did it because she wanted publicity, and she implying that Dumbledore didn't like Harry like a son (which is how I interpreted it) but he liked to hang around Harry because he's gay. Again, I'm not trying to be homophobic, but I remember her saying something along the lines of "That's why Dumbledore cares about Harry so much." I mean WTF?
Gay =/= pedophile. For all your insistence that you're not homophobic, that's an awfully offensive mistake to make. If she did say that, which I don't think she did, I'm willing to bet that you took it completely out of context. She probably meant that it's the reason why he cares about him so much as a son, because he can't have any of his own.
