As we all know, J.K. Rowling is great at replying to fans' questions about Harry Potter on Twitter – especially when they concern LGBT issues.
Earlier today, a fan from London tweeted the author and questioned "why" the character Dumbledore is gay because she couldn't "see him in that way".
@jk_rowling Thank you so much for writing Harry Potter. I wonder why you said that Dumbledore is a gay because I can't see him in that way.
Not one to shy away from speaking out in support of LGBT rights, Rowling replied:
.@anakocovic21 Maybe because gay people just look like... people?
Thankfully, Rowling's on-point response was received well by the fan, who saw eye to eye with the author.
@jk_rowling amazing answer... Yes you are absolutely right. Such an inspiration!!!
She even had this to add:
@jk_rowling I wish that McGonagall and Dumbledore are couple
Well, isn't that rather lovely.
