John cloud stated that because Harry Potter's headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, was outed posthumously, "We can only conclude that Dumbledore saw his homosexuality as shameful" [Nov. 5].

Rowling's story started as a children's book and evolved into teenage reading material. That is it. Cloud is gay and proud, which is fantastic. But as Grey's Anatomy's T.R.
