Dumbledore comes out of wizard closet

[VaughnMichael]

I don't even see why this is a big deal, people get so crazy over the dumbest things about a fictional characters sexuality.
I mean I'm used to girls going gaga over young guy characters and asking but seriously this like like some old wizard lol I just find it odd this such a question would even come up at all.
Like I said I think we've got allot more to care about right now than rather a character is gay or not.

I do agree with that, Putrescent. Frankly, it doesn't matter if Dumbledore's gay or straight. He can still kick Voldemort's a**.

[Jack Skellington]

I imagine it went like this: dumbledore:"harry come here." harry:"yes?" dumbeldore:"i want to ask you if snape is available for somthing tonight?" harry:"OH, for training Alright!" dumbeldore:"uh.. training right!!"

...I just adore how we can take the most meaningless thing and yet still be able to be childish about it.

I love how you needlessly bait over a joke, displaying your own adolescense.

I just love rolling my eyes. Don't you?

Maybe I should track down a Dumbledore figure to do some toy toons ala the "If Doom were gay what would he say?" toons.

I think that Dumbledore's intense friendship with Grindelwald was plenty reference. I couldn't help but note when I read the book that it seemed almost obsessive. They were inseparable, the two of them. Now, him being gay never crossed my mind but in context, with this knowledge, I think that *is* the reference. Again, not that it's truly important after the fact, but it does add another piece to her richly detailed universe and serves to make the friendship and breaking of, even more poignant.

Yes, but Santi (and I know this is a long time coming, but I don't know what made me think of this.) that's almost the same reasoning some use to say that David and Jonathan were in fact homosexuals and not just "close as a brother" friends. Just because someone has a male or even female friend that they care for as a sibling and love more than themselves doesn't make them attracted to them sexually.

Hmm. I guess I'm kind of indifferent on the Dumbledore thing. For me a character's sexuality really isn't a big deal one way or another, as long as they don't become a "token gay", as in either being a stereotype (okay in comedy though I guess if written well) or just there just for the sake of having a gay character.

I know in Battlestar (spoilering this just in case):

Spoiler:

Admiral Cain was revealed to be a lesbian. Maybe it was the Quiznos ad that made it seem kind of out of place (for those who saw it, the one that said "It has now been revealed...!" all the time), but I thought it added something to the Cain being cruel to Gina thing that wasn't even necessary. We knew Cain was someone that would go to any lengths to get what she wanted, I don't think the having a relationship with Gina thing was needed too.

I chuckled at Zarius's joke, does that make me a bad and childish person?

Yes. Yes it does.





But you're in good company. I chuckled, too.

It's not showing my adolescence, nor baiting, it's in my maturity that I can voice my opinion to not like childish, unwarranted 'jokes'. What's childish is the need to respond to it immaturely.

And this is why our forums have so much trouble.

I don't know if I've actually mentioned this here before but what the heck.
There was a conversation between two girls at my school when the discussed Dumbledore being gay.

Girl1: It doesent really matter anyway, the series is over.

Girl2: Yes it does! Now we know why Voldermort was so afraid of him! [DEAD SERIOUS FACE]

It may be the stupidest/funniest thing I've ever heard.

I was going to say something about Voldemort's tongue after Zarius' initial post, but I'll bite mine and keep it to myself.
