Best response I saw to this one Reddit.

"Jesus Christ, this shit isn't hard. Just portray it as if it was a heterosexual relationship like every single blockbuster movie from the past 50 years.

It's not like it'd be hard. Shit, one line of dialogue in a two hour movie. That'd be it. That's all it would take to make it explicit.

He even said something that could be a line of dialogue in the movie!

"They fell in love with each other’s ideas, and ideology and each other.”

Boom. Done. There's your line of dialogue that makes their relationship explicit (and even then it could be more explicit).

But, nah.

According to The Crimes of Grindelwald director David Yates, this year’s sequel, at least, will not directly reference Dumbledore’s sexuality.

“Not explicitly,” Yates replied when asked if the film makes it clear that Dumbledore is gay.


Man, fuck that. It was just as frustrating to hear the cast saying that about how Valkyrie is bisexual (like in the comics) in "Thor: Ragnarok" because of one scene where she looks at another Valkyrie a certain way. That's it. That's you're representation!

Like...I'd feel better about this if they were just honest.

"We're not showing this character as being explicitly Gay/Bi/Queer because we don't want to piss off conservatives and our international market."

A resounding amen to all that.

It's not going to happen. I guarantee it.

Well, either way, I'm here for the epic wandfight.

I'm sure it'll be hinted at in one of the movies, which is good enough according to some people

NCIS: New Orleans

Shalita Grant, the actress who plays Sonja Percy, has announced she is leaving the show.

She was my favorite character on that show.

I really liked her when she was first introduced but I disliked when they kept pushing her and LaSalle together. I'm behind two seasons so I don't know how that turned out. I hope it was toned down because I liked her character.
