Re: 27: A theory on all the recent yaoi posts

And if I didn't have one already myself, I'd give a big thumb's up to that. *wg* It's like -- I can understand why people would be hurt if they thought they were being called homophobic! And while I wouldn't do that, I do think a lot of people living a heteronormative life are unaware of all the overtones of their heteronormative life because it's so...normal to them. *wg* I can't find books or tv shows with glbt characters by accident, I generally have to go to the bookstore with author names if I want something like that in my other entertainment media. Having fandom reverse that slightly is... well, I can't feel sorry for them or feel they're justified in resenting it because some of us get that all the time everywhere else in entertainment media. And sure, I'll read and enjoy het novels/tv shows/whatever! Doesn't mean I don't wish I could find more I could, well, relate to because it violates heteronormativity.

All good things. [nods] :D

Word. Not to mention that a lot of the time when you do find GLBT characters in mainstream media, they're so heavily stereotyped that I wish I hadn't found them.

Which is why even though the end of Deathly Hallows sucked IMO, I'm almost willing to forgive JKR for finally doing GLBT right; Dumbledore was a well-developed character first, and a gay man second.

Agreed, Rach!

I honestly don't get why people are bitching about the fact that she "should have" outed Dumbledore in the series itself -- why should she have? The fact that he was gay wasn't a defining character trait and I found that such a relief after so many years of "gay is either absent from or the only defining thing in a character" in entertainment culture.
