God bless the intelligence and common "horse sense" of the noble masses

An article in the Chicago Tribune argues that since J.K. Rowling never wrote Dumbledore's sexuality into any of the Harry Potter books, she cannot now say that he was gay. Which is wrong, of course.

Many of the more than 150 comments posted on the article so far see that. There are exceptions, but (when they're not doing the "I'm not a homophobe, but..." bit) they do the neat trick of defusing their own points.

One (from Birmingham, AL ) uses the screenname "GayRights EQUALSRacism." Another writes,

She cannot make something up after the boks (sic) have been writen.

Nu, I supose she cnt, cn she?
