I agree, this has been blown totally out of proportion. Like JK said, she is the writer. This is her story, therefore she has the right to decide what each character entales. I think it was very brave of her to "out" Dumbledore as they say, because of course this has caused outrage among Christians who don't believe in what JK writes as well as people thinking that it is a publicity stunt. No way would this be a publicity stunt, she has come out revealing many more unknown plot lines such as Neville and Hannah Abbot and about her marrying Harry - it is only because homosexuality is still quite a taboo topic that this created such a stir, which I still firmly believe it shouldn't have. I don't understand why some parents now, because of this revelation, are not allowing their children to read the books anymore - totally blown up.
