Rowling courageously outs the dead guy

You know, somehow it never occurred to me to wonder who Dumbledore was sleeping with.

Apparently, people with too much time on their hands have been:
Potter readers on fan sites and elsewhere on the Internet have speculated on the sexuality of Dumbledore, noting that he has no close relationship with women and a mysterious, troubled past. And explicit scenes with Dumbledore already have appeared in fan fiction.

This isn't the article by the guy who was lamenting that Dumbledore isn't much of a role model for homosexuals: he stays in the closet, abstemious, near as we can tell, until, long after his death, his creator outs him. The Pope couldn't have asked for better.

I like this, though, "Rowling...also said that she regarded her Potter books as a 'prolonged argument for tolerance' and urged her fans to 'question authority.'"
They are that. And do that.
