Dumbledore is Gay.

Well, I didn't see that coming.

I'm not talking about the actor, J.K. Rowling said at a reading that Dumbledore is gay. She said that Gellert Grindelwald, the wizard Dumbledore defeated and had those insightful conversations with was his love interest.

Yes, it's weird, see for yourself.

I think she's just trying to get more attention now that the books are over.

I knew the books went downhill starting at book 5, but I never expected anything so random and unnecessarily controversial like this.

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
