(Anonymous) 2011-08-20 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)Whether or not it was in books or not is irrelevant considering that Meran_Flash wasn't just referring to the books but 'Rowling's world'.
"...and after ONE failed romance (that again, was never explicitly mentioned as a romance) he never had another relationship again. that's not exactly a shining example of pro-gay/non-heteronormativity."
Actually, she stated that he was in love so most likely it was a romance. And why does it matter if he never sought out another relationship again, he still was in one. Meran_Flash commented that it was heternormative world, and obviously with Dumbledore's situation that isn't true.

Gay people still exist in societies dominated by heteronormativity. You're talking to one.
Sincerely,

(Anonymous) 2011-08-20 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)If JKR was really under the heteronormative mindset then Dumbledore wouldn't be gay.

(Anonymous) 2011-08-21 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)Read the article where she talks about it: http://gallery.the-leaky-cauldron.org/picture/207262
"The underrepresentation of same-sex couples in advertising and entertainment media."
And if you are only focusing on this, which people pretty much do, then she says there are more but she doesn't get into because she is focus on talking about Dumbledore.

(Anonymous) 2011-08-21 02:55 am (UTC)(link)also it's not really confirmed even BY jkr outside the books that it was a relationship beyond friendship. so essentially we have "young man is attracted to another boy, who turns out to be evil, then he never has another relationship and is portrayed as eccentric non-sexual until he dies." never seen THAT before. what a gay role model omg thank you jkr.
but lmao that you apparently think "heteronormative" means "everyone is straight"

(Anonymous) 2011-08-21 02:58 am (UTC)(link)so basically he never has an actual romantic relationship his entire long long life

(Anonymous) 2011-08-21 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)"also it's not really confirmed even BY jkr outside the books that it was a relationship beyond friendship."
Yes, she does. http://gallery.the-leaky-cauldron.org/picture/207262
"Heteronormativity is the cultural bias in favor of opposite-sex relationships of a sexual nature, and against same-sex relationships of a sexual nature."
No, it means she wouldn't have bothered because she would have been in this mindset.
