<![CDATA[To be honest, I think once a writer writes a story and publishes it, it ceases to be theirs and becomes ours.  Perhaps JK meant Dumbledore to be gay.  BUT she didn't write the stories that way.  There is no evidence either way in the actual books.  She left it out.  Too late.  Unless she actually write a prequel and publishes it as part of the series, her own personal ideas don't mean a whole lot.  I read the Harry Potter stories, I don't listen to what other people theorize about them, even if she is the author.  As far as I am concerned Dumbledore's sexuality is nonexistent and a mystery, only to be resolved by another real addition to the story.  Until that happens, Dumbledore is just a wise old man with a mysterious and unknown past, sexuality included.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FFantasy%2FDumbledore-Gay-or-Godly.55598%23comment68229"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FFantasy%2FDumbledore-Gay-or-Godly.55598%23comment68229" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

I appreciate you responding to my comment.  Always nice to see that there are writers out there that are not narrow-minded as well as willing to voice their opinion publicly.  I look forward to reading more of your work.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FFantasy%2FDumbledore-Gay-or-Godly.55598%23comment53890"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FFantasy%2FDumbledore-Gay-or-Godly.55598%23comment53890" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Janice, <br />
Thank you for your comment.<br />
I agree with you and that is why I come to the conclusion that Dumbledore's sexuality doesn't matter. <br />
I was merely discussing the contradicting themes. <a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FFantasy%2FDumbledore-Gay-or-Godly.55598%23comment53888"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FFantasy%2FDumbledore-Gay-or-Godly.55598%23comment53888" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Why does everything have to be turned into question about sexuality? What would be so wrong if he was both a homosexual and a    godly figure.<br />
