Dumbledore was gay

From The Observer:

Dumbledore was gay

Now, I've not actually read all of the books, and I've only seen a couple of the films, but I think that this story, combined with the disgusting innuendo in the first Harry Potter book, proves once and for all that J.K. Rowling's books shouldn't be sold to children.

Note that I'm not saying there's anything wrong with one of the characters being gay on its own, but, did it really have to be Harry's elderly mentor? What's next - Harry Potter and the Repressed Memories?

I can't wait to see how the American Christian Fundamentalist audience react to this...book burnings anyone?

They've already called for the books to be banned as they promote witchcraft! (Seriously!!!)

Yeah I saw that. The reasoning behind it was (as you would expect) laughable.

Is one example of a website that sees HP as an attack on christianity and promoter of witchcraft.

...Though in the end it just turns out to be an attempt to sell a book dealing with the subject. The purchase of which is seen alongside the bible as equally as important to the dealing with this most aggressive attack on faith. Ahem.
