Cannon HP Slash?

Recent interview with J. K. Rowling reveals a new tidbit about Albus Dumbledore: he was gay and in love with Grindewald.

My favorite bit of the interview is when Jo says, "Just imagine the fan fiction now."

My dear, the slashers are way ahead of you.

(I's just realized that I have neither a "SQUEE!" icon nor a GLBT-Pride one. So I went with one with a homoerotic one instead.)

Well, I'll admit that it surprised me that it was Dumbledore who turned out to be gay, although I'm not surprised that there was a main character who was gay. It's only logical that at least one of them would be.

I agree, Dumbleldore's sexuality was not the point of the series. Besides, if you read between the lines, there are hints. A lot of people (not just slashers) wondered about the exact nature of his relationship with Grindewald after reading DH.

Reading comments on some of the big HP sites has been interesting, though. Thankfully, I haven't seen many obviously anti-GLBT posts.
