"Dumbledore is gay, actually," - JK Rowling

Hello Fellow Potterheads! I haven't written for awhile due to the break in classes, but I am excited and eager to start up my blog again.
Ok, so if you are a true Potterhead, you would know that JK Rowling outed Dumbledore as gay in 2007 at Carnegie Hall. The world was on fire that October evening, but I have to ask why. Why was it so important to the fandom that Dumbledore is gay? Does it change the plotline or character development at all? Why is it so horrible that Dumbledore just happens to romantically love males instead of females? Alas, it is not.
So many people were talking about this Dumbledore outing as this huge plot twist in the books, but in my opinion, they didn't change anything. He still left Harry on that doorstep the night Lily and James died, he still was Harry's only grandfather figure throughout the last years of his life, and he still led Harry to destroy the horcrux, and ultimately defeat Voldemort. He was still an amazing person who led a large and magnificent life. Who could doubt all of that because he was gay?
Don't get me wrong, Dumbledore isn't one of my favorite characters by far, but he was one of the most significant individuals in the series.
And I still don't agree with how he did it.
I know, here we go again, Elaine is hating on one of the main characters in her favorite series. Let me explain.
He hid so much from Harry over those years. He could have helped him out so much by just saying that he would have to be killed by Voldemort in the end anyways. He could have told Harry that he was a horcrux himself. But he didn't. Which makes no sense in my mind.
If you expect this kid to defeat the Dark Lord, how are you supposed to expect him to do that without all of the information needed. You can't. It is slowing down the process.
In that little rant I just had, nowhere did I say that I didn't like Dumbledore because he was gay. But after October 20th, 2013, a lot of people started hating Dumbledore for that reason alone: he was gay, and that wasn't right for them.
In which case, those "Potterheads" didn't learn anything from the Harry Potter series like they should have. Harry Potter is about being nice for your peers when they need it, it's about love, it's about acceptance. Harry Potter is about defeating evil, and letting love prevail. These people don't seem to realize that, which kills me inside. How dare they discriminate against Dumbledore, the brightest wizard who ever lived, and sometimes the entire series merely because Dumbledore is gay. That is an absolute pity.
Until next time, Potterheads.
