JK Rowling has
revealed Harry Potter's world is a good place to be LGBTI.
The British
author was asked a question by a Twitter fan who asked if there was a variety
of people at Hogwarts, including gay students.
'do you think
there are a lot of LGBT students in modern age Hogwarts? I like to imagine they
formed an LGBT club,' they said.
'It's safe to
assume that Hogwarts had a variety of people and I like to think it's a safe
place for LGBT students.'
Rowling said
'Of course', and then linked to a picture which read: 'If Harry Potter taught
us anything, it's that no one should live in a closet.'
But would the
LGBT club have had a leader in the figure of its gay headteacher, Albus
Dumbledore?
Rowling
revealed Dumbledore’s sexuality after all seven books were published, although
there were hints throughout the novels.
‘Dumbledore is
gay,’ she said, adding she was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald who he
beat in a battle between good and bad wizards long ago.
‘I would have
told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy.’
