Yes, you read that right. The revered Hogwarts headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, has been outed recently by the Harry Potter series author, JK Rowling.
Some people have speculated about Dumbledore’s sexuality long before the last book was released. Some have “confirmed” their beliefs after seeing Dumbledore perform that clap-above-the-head routine in the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Many of us have wondered and had doubts about the sexuality of this esteemed headmaster and now we hear the truth straight from the creator’s mouth. Rowling outed Dumbledore last October 19, Friday, at Carnegie Hall where she promoted the last edition of the series: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”
If you haven’t read the seventh book yet, don’t fret as this revelation of Dumbledore’s sexuality couldn’t be found in the book. Well, if you’re keen enough to dissect his sexuality (or if that interests you at all), then you would have already known that Dumbledore is gay. Ain’t nothing wrong with that too.
The Associated Press Reports:
After reading briefly from the final book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” she took questions from audience members.
She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds “true love.”
“Dumbledore is gay,” the author responded to gasps and applause.
“Falling in love can blind us to an extent,” Rowling said of Dumbledore’s feelings, adding that Dumbledore was “horribly, terribly let down.”

I’ve seen a lot of blog entries entitled “Dumbledore is gay!” and this is the only one I read. I didn’t even read posts written by my friends. I guess your blog just sort of grabbed my attention. Or maybe this is the right place to read about a character who’s gay? Lol. Great job!X

They’ve just revised the Singapore Penal Code. The section which makes sex between men a criminal offense remained unchanged though it was petitioned to be repealed.
Check out my post and may I have your comment please?X

I was writing an entry on the Singaporean call for decriminalization of gay sex as I was kind of following the news about it. I haven’t had that much time to wrap it up and concretize it. WIll post it soon.
