Despite Rowling's announcement of Dumbledore being gay, Harry Potter still exhibits heteronormative culture. The combination of this culture paired with the so called "outing" of Dumbledore indicates that Rowling possibly has little empathy for the LGBT+ community.]]> 2017-02-14 16:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/redcaya/d0fb7u9pqq6o/wish/153782012 https://padlet.com/redcaya/d0fb7u9pqq6o/wish/153782023 They argue that Dumbledore is not gay. There is not enough evidence in the series that might prove that Dumbledore is gay. Although JK Rowling claims that Dumbledore is gay, over the course of 7 novels, a few years, and countless interviews she failed to provide any evidence of Dumbledore's sexuality. Throughout her novels, she continued to include strong influences of heteronormativity, and this contradicts her statement about Dumbledore's sexuality. This article also references Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, when the narrator writes to Beatrice that "it will be sometime before two women can be allowed to marry."]]> 2017-02-14 16:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/redcaya/d0fb7u9pqq6o/wish/153782023 https://padlet.com/redcaya/d0fb7u9pqq6o/wish/153782426 Ultimately, Wallace and Pugh try to answer the question does Rowling has the authority to alter characters despite after finishing the series.
