Aristotle lived in a time when bisexuality was the norm and homosexual relations were thought of as the purest form of love.
I agree that Aristotle’s views were conservative, but racial, religious and sexual tolerance back then was far more advanced than we are now.

For all those who have a problem with Dumbledore’s orientation: Grow up!

oh and btw person, its seems like you share views with aristotle who hated gays, females and people from other parts of the world… i guess we should listen to him becasue he was a great scientist thousands of years ago.

maybe you should re-think your position on aristotle?

err sinister, it actually doesnt matter what YOU think about being gay. Its not the point, you and me might not think its ok to be gay or whatever, but everyone has a right to make what decisions they like, if thats how u feel about it. Or you dont think people are “free”? Also, Rowling is the author and can obviously write anything she wants (almost), and obviously she thinks its ok to be gay. If she cant write about it because SOME people dont approve of it, then i guess you cant say things I dont approve of?

And yes babys are created a certain way. That has nothing to do with being gay…

I personally don’t see what the big deal is. JK was asked a question by a fan, and she answered it to the best of her ability.

I feel that she is totally justified to say what she said. Just because this is a children’s book doesn’t mean a character can’t be gay. What, are we just going to deny its existence? Besides, Harry Potter has plenty of dark themes in it: death, corruption, murder… it’s all there. I hardly heard any protest on those subjects in the books.

I do hope the world will be more accepting towards the subject of homosexuality.

Sinister - I’ll leave you to your own beliefs, but please, try to understand things from another point of view. Being Homosexual is being different, as is being a different race or gender. Can you be wrong for loving somebody?

Yes. I am a fag and damn proud of it. If only JK had written me in with a few love scenes I would have been happier then ever.

Get used to it straighties! There t’aint nver been anything wrong with being gay and if I want to come out of the closet, I will.

It sounds like Sinister is talking about Natural Law Theory. If you wish to learn about it, read Aristotle or Thomas Aquinas, then re-think your position on homosexuality.

I noticed alot of people saying Rowlings should have made it more prevelant in the book that dumbledore was gay. Honestly some others see there characters as living being and dont “Make” the character but see the characters life. Many authers say that ” they wrote the book to see what would happen to the characters” or” what would happen”. as far as being gay is ok. I think its both born and taught but either way im fine with it because i am gay. Ive known all my life that i was at least different and most of my life ive believed i was going to hell…. Also for those who know anything about Rowlings she has said she didnt write this as a childrens book she wrote the books for herself.

As to sinisters comment. Yes your right. But is everything that makes sense to you right. What if someone sees something that makes sense to them that doesnt make sense to you. If we all believed and acted the same way the world would be very dull indeed. I see being gay as a possibility in life something that makes me different and makes life more interesting for others. Instead of being stuck on what a person is maybe think about who the person is. If there a good person, what does it matter what they do with there life.

I see the choice of being gay as a wrong. I could go into detail explaining why it’s abnormal or wrong but there may be others that may not want to read the details. Think about a man and woman and how children are created.

Ok so maybe it was an odd retort, but being gay is still being human just like you and me. I honestly see nothing wrong with it. Hell, I dated a girl in highschool. Actually, two girls. And I’m perfectly normal! Married too.

How is it not ok to be gay? That’s like saying it’s not ok to be black or hispanic or christian or catholic. What are you may I ask? What religion and/or ethnicity. Honestly, that comment was not well thought out.

What? Black, Hispanic and Religion share no similarities with being gay. Please re-think your post.
