seriously...it was implied in the books. but there was never a situation where the sentance " ... because Dumbledor is gay" would have come up. I went my entire school career without talking to one of my teachers and asking thedirectly 'so I hear you suck cock'
EDIT - Even before the last book she knew Dumbledor was gay. They wanted to give Dumbledor a love interest in one of the movies, but she said he cant because hes gay.
damn it...now you have me sounding like I'm a huge fanboi. I didnt start reading the books until book 6. I enjoyed them. |
You mean she edited the 6th movie,
after the final book was in editing?
If you want your character to be gay, you
don't have to be overly-zelous with its implementation, its not like dumbeldore needed to fuck Harry in the ass for me to catch the drift "hey he is gay". Subtle innuendo's of his
affection though would have been great, you know, like nearly every other adult character with a "love interest" past or present had.
Rowling kept sex out of the book, but small affection was extremely prevalent, except in characters that were "gender neutral". This does reek of an author trying to be modern and hip, but the fact is that it is a slap in the face to anyone who is homo-sexual.
Dumbeldore is gay? Fine but why then in all of his flash backs in the little fucking dream thing, in all of the stories, there isn't clue one until the last book, where there is some
extremely, extremely subtle hints that you might
construe as "gay" if an author
told you he was, indeed, gay.
It would annoy me just as much if she jumped in and said "Hey guys Dumbeldor was a ladies man, fucking all kinds of women when he was young"..Yeah, because that fits the 7 novel-length long character right, I mean,
sexual orientation isn't an
important part of anyone's lifestyle, right? All the subtle, cutsie romance between the characters (harmless but there) was only for
heterosexuals, obviously, silly fagots need to keep their desires zipped up super tight.
Thats why Orsan is angry, and normally I don't agree with him, because Card is a fucking prick..But he is absolutely correct in this sense.."Footnotes" after the books have sold by authors are fucking terrible. Write the book to stand on its own and accept the interpretations people give. The fact that
no one had the
first fucking clue he was gay before she said something should speak volumes of her "clues".
