Jk rowling finally told my parents they are gay
Listen up J.K. Rowling, it’s time to give us Gay Dumbledore
If you’ve been on Twitter in the last couple of days, you might have noticed a lot of tweets poking fun at J.K. Rowling...more than usual, that is.
In a DVD distinct feature for last year’s film Crimes of Grindelwald, the second installment in the Harry Potter spin-off franchise Fantastic Beasts, the author noted that characters Dumbledore and Grindelwald had an “incredibly intense” connection. “It was passionate, and it was a devote relationship,” she said.
While my initial gut sense is to be grateful for any type of queer representation, the existence is that mentioning it in passing and excluding it from the motion picture does not count as diversity. It’s just a cowardly and lazy way to make headlines and appease fans.
We’ve known Dumbledore was gay since JKR disclosed it to fans back in 2007, despite the fact it’s never addressed in the books. When asked about Dumbledore’s love life, she revealed that as a teen he fell in like with his close comrade Grindelwald, who later became a powerful dark wizard in a pre-Voldemort era.
For fans, it was electrifying to f
Dear J.K. Rowling, I love Harry Potter. Please stop talking.
Dear J.K. Rowling,
I can practically recite your Harry Potter books. I grew up in a family that felt favor the Dursleys, and I began having chronic migraines at 14 so Harry’s scar hurting was very relatable.
Finding out I was a lesbian in my 30s felt favor getting my Hogwarts letter and finally going to a magical land where I fit in (with fewer poltergeists but more unicorns). Until then, I had been proficient to visit that place of acceptance in a earth where I was different through your books.
I can’t say on behalf of trans, non-binary, or intersex people, so I speak on behalf of myself as someone qualified to teach 100-level sociology classes at the community college level. This is pretty basic stuff.
You know how you show how someone like Ron Weasley who begins with bigoted biases about other magical creatures can grow to see they are wrong? Please carry out that.
Here are the basics. Sex and gender are not the same thing. Sex refers to your biology — your body parts, hormones, and chromosomes.
There are more than two sexes. In addition to males and females, some people are intersex. “Intersex is a general term used for
Rowling Lets Dumbledore Out of the Closet
Oct. 20, 2007 — -- Well, it's official. Albus Dumbledore, a hero of the phenomenally famous Harry Potter series and headmaster of the wizarding academy Hogwarts, is gay.
That's right, Harry's mentor and father-figure would prefer a agreeable wizard to a hot witch any day.
In a surprising new Potter twist, author J.K. Rowling outed Dumbledore at New York's Carnegie Hall in front of 2,000 Potter fans during a question and answer session Friday night.
After reading an excerpt from the seventh installment of her series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," one young fan asked if Dumbledore had ever loved anyone.
"Dumbledore is gay, actually," replied Rowling.
She was initially met with a surprised silence but ultimately the audience erupted in cheers for several minutes prompting Rowling to add, "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy."
Rowling went on to explain that Dumbledore fell for Gellert Grindelwald, his childhood friend with similarly brilliant wizarding skills, who eventually went over to the dark side and became the predecessor to the i

Do Indian teenagers know about the anxiety and misinformation experienced by their non-binary and homosexual counterparts? No, not really.
In 2015, when eight-year-old me first eavesdropped on my elder brother and his friends discussing whether the respected headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series was ‘gay’, I was perplexed by this modern term. Nevertheless, I never quite questioned it then; perhaps it was the confidentiality of the entire conversation that barred my conscience from exploring the meaning of the phrase – one which is still very much a taboo in Indian society.
This confusion lasted several years and was finally cleared in 2018 when the Supreme Court read down parts of Section 377 of the IPC which criminalised gay sex. While for the LGBTQIA+ group, September 6 was a historic milestone and a first step towards social acceptance in India, for me it was a day of enlightenment. Finally, I got an perception into a world and community that I didn’t even know existed.
It also immediately became a joke among teens. Countless
Okay,thetitle is hyperbolic. I'm not straight. I'm still homosexual as can be. That, however, doesn't take away from the fact that the person with whom I've chosen to expend my life is a woman. Over the past month, she and I have been coming out to our friends and family about her gender identity. The person you thought was your male friend, your son's boyfriend/girlfriend, your son, or your brother is, in reality, a woman, and I'm in a heterosexual association. Time to change your perspective. Surprise!
Once it started, there was a cascade of disclosures. My partner saw how simply and positively the first person who figured it out adjusted to the idea, which made the thought of telling others much less frightening. Suddenly, the constant hypothetical of coming out became a concrete reality. Each day she chose a person to tell, we made a plan, readied ourselves for the conversation, had a drink to tranquil the nerves (don't evaluate -- this is a difficult thing to serve up the courage to do!), and dove in.
I need to elucidate how introverted my companion is for you to understand just how impressed I've been with her each time I've seen her say the words, "I'm transgender and am in the process of tra
