J.K. Rowling told some fans at a reading in New York this weekend that Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Harry Potter's school, is gay. I think it's no coincidence that Rowling waited until after the publication of her final book to out the character. I have no doubt that many parents would be so horrified about a gay headmaster that they'd forbid their children from reading the books. Then again, such parents were probably already weirded out by the witchcraft.
