Summary

Dumbledore is gay – initial thoughts from the hosts! Eric gives us a full report on MuggleCast LIVE in Australia! We go over each of the questions answered at the October 19th reading in NYC. Andrew, Laura, and Micah talk about meeting Jo. (Yes, life is now complete.) Should Jo have revealed Dumbledore’s sexuality? Why does it matter, and why is it front-page news? This leads into a discussion on the presence of homosexuality and how it is regarded in society, as well as our own experiences. The hosts become quite opinionated when it comes to fans who act as though Dumbledore being gay tarnishes his character. The message of this episode: embrace differences and don't blindly follow the doctrine that all people must be one way, which is deemed the “right” way. Learn more about your ad choices.
