Maybe he just has a wide stance...

J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall.

After reading briefly from the final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," she took questions from audience members.

She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds "true love."

"Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause.

A fork in the eye to all the radical zealots who had her books drummed out of librarys and schools. Thank you Ms. Rowling for introducing a generation of video children to the magic of reading and for showing even more that yes, people you respect and admire are sometimes gay. Deal with it.
