J.K. Rowling has revealed that Dumbledore was gay! Joe read from the book and answered some fan questions at Carnegie hall. The Leaky Couldron reports:

First, the biggest revelation of the night came when Jo revealed to her audience the fact that Albus Dumbledore is gay and had fallen in love with fellow wizard and friend, Gellert Grindelwald. This elicited a huge reaction and prolonged ovation. So much so, it promoted Jo to say:

"If I had known this would have made you this happy, I would have told you years ago."

She should have come out with that in the last book instead of writing that horrible epilogue. Sigh. My little Dobby...

She also revealed more things that you should probably read at the source, if you've already finished the book or if you just want to be spoiled.

P.S. - This totally reaffirms my theory that Ian McKellen should have been Dumbledore after Richard Harris. Sigh
