Thanks for clarifying. You're preachin' to the choir here, Fi. One would hope!EmpressFi said:I guess what I mean by thinking "So?" was.. more of a big deal. And in this particular case.. a milestone? How is hiding or at least not confirming something that's been tittered about on bulletion boards but never confirmed or denied.. until MONTHS after the last book was published and sold a milestone. Nothing.. absolutely nothing in the series gives proof one way or another that Albus Dumbledore was anything but a concerned, brilliant, humanly flawed, role model/father figure for Harry. How is announcing it after the fact a milestone. Yes, I believe it's overdue..but my "So?" was more in response to what I know must have been millions of the evangelical crowd (not all of them, I know, I'm thinking of the ones I know) who were gasping in horror and saying, "Seeeeeeee, we told you these books were bad."
Just as a teacher's sexual preference should have no bearing on how well he teaches his class.. Dumbledore's sexual preference should have no bearing on his abilities as Headmaster, as teacher, as mentor, as friend.
