Tattered Essence

So J.K. drops the news that Dumbledore is gay at the Q&A in NYC. There, it draws a stunning ovation. Later, the message boards catch fire.

It is so brave!

It is so disgusting!

How could we not have seen it?

Why couldn’t she have just kept her mouth shut about it?

Well, you couldn’t see it, because it wasn’t just subtle, it was non-existent. So J.K. says that it is so. That’s great, except that it was so completely concealed that it really shouldn’t have caused a stir on either side of the debate.
