Post J.K. Rowling receives anti-homophobia award

J.K. Rowling is to be honoured by La Fondation Émergence, an equal rights Canadian lobby group, for her revelation in regards to Dumbledore's sexuality.

Rowling has expressed her gratitude but will not be able to collect the award herself - three fans will do so on her behalf.

This is so ridiculous to me. If being a homosexual is not a big deal why is there WHOLE award dealing with people who are anti-homophobic. I really am tired of this Dumbledore being gay thing. Sometimes I'm just so angry with people. This shouldn't matter at all.

I agree people blew this out of proportion. Most poeple were acting as this was such a bad thing. People now a day just need to let everyone live happyly the way they want. Gay or straight everyone desires to be happy.

The problem is that although many HP fans feel that being gay is not a big deal, a lot of other HP fans felt otherwise. Some have totally sworn off the series because of this revelation. Some have even tried to rationalize that although they claim not to be anti-gay, they didn't like the fact that Dumbledore was gay. I think it's sad that people are making a bid deal about the sexuality of a fictional character because they don't believe that he should be gay.

^I agree with that. I don't think being gay is such a big deal either. anyone here been on imdb.com? There was this topic where a Harry Potter fan showed a sad picture of Harry crying over Dumbledore's body. Then this one guy comes up and says, "Who cares? It's just a dead gay guy." I don't understand why people mock at homosexuality, they're just people like you and me

I agree with you guys, if gay people are supposed to be considered normal, then why making all this a big deal? The thing is that people still don't feel confortable about the subject *sigh* sad though

I have to agree with you. I mean, kudos to Jo for winning another award, but this is a little too weird for me. Why come up with another award just for homosexuals? Why do they need their own award? I don't get it.

It is an unusual award to be receiving, I'm not sure if I have heard anything of the sort before, but on the other hand, it's great because everyone deserves happines, no matter their sexuality!!! Go Jo!!!!!

Well, as long as gays and lesbians are not being treated equally, there is a need to make people aware of hatred against or fear of homosexuals. We on this site might assure ourselves that we are tolerant and open-minded, but there are many many people who are not.
Giving this award to a person as well-known and respected as Jo is a fairly easy and straightforward way of raising consciousness. (Although I'm sure there are people worthier of the award, this is guaranteed to bring more publicity.)

Hmm. Funny that a children's story has aroused some of the most controversial topics around. Makes you think about children's literature...
