The author behind the creation of characters like Harry Potter, has let it be known that the character Dumbledore, is indeed gay.

It came to light in the making of the lastest Harry Potter movie in which one of the movie folks had made a reference which Dumbledore had a history romantically with a girl, but Rowlings corrected it by passing a note stating that the character is gay.

The revelation shocked many, but there are those that assumed it all along, in fact the author has said that some fan fiction has noted this, and that it has gotten pretty creative regarding his relationships .

Rowlings says this gives the Christian fundamentalists one more reason to hate her.
