A Gay Wizard

I can't say I'm altogether surprised.

The libs are elated.

All the little wizards are now going to be indoctrinated into believing that Gay is a traditional lifestyle. As if they really understood the context in which the wizard was making his comments anyhow...or really care.

I would hope that "doesn't care" turns out to be the case. The Harry Potter books contain a strong subtext of pleading for a society where tolerance and acceptance of others who are different from oneself are valued more highly; disregarding a difference of that sort seems to be the highest form of tolerance and acceptance possible.

Those sorts of values and behaviors (I speak here of tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness and love) should not be subject to political indexing.
