Gayism is a disease. It will spread more with exposure. So everyone should try and stop it being exposed more to the world. It can start from you own family.
Any good parent will not want their child to be gay. So I will not let my child read / watch any such material.

Yes, it is irrelevant to the plot/storyline of the books. The simple fact that a character is gay makes no real difference to the story and how in unfolds. The simple fact is other than the relationships between Ron and Hermoine, and Harry and Ginny, romantic relationships and leanings are not really dealt with during the entire series. It took JK to confirm a rumour to even make this fact obvious.

Why definitely, the diversity should be acceptable, and the ludicrous notion of it have a hidden message of witchcraft is also ridiculous.
Just be cause a fictional character portrays homosexuality, it does not teach radical ideas not is it shown within the book. It was good for the book to contribute such due to reflecting some elements in reality. So what if a character is gay in any book, whether shown or not, is one going to be racial even in the context of fiction?

regardless of fictional character's sexuality.
It shouldn't matter.
To any one.
what do you care if he's gay? HE'S FICTIONAL
what do you think because a character is gay that your children will suddenly develop an urge to make out with everyone they see? no, and even if they do, that's just hormones.
My children will grow up with Harry Potter just like I did. And their children will most likely have to read it for their advanced Lit classes someday.
Don't knock it,
Besides, he wasn't gay.
JKR always says what she means and she NEVER said the word 'gay' or 'homosexual'
so all you skinheads can back off

What's Harry Porter? Is that some kind of cheap imitation Harry Potter?

Of course I will!! His being gay is purely afterfact and has no bearing on the plot of the story or anything so nobody should have a problem with it. Look at all your answerer's, most of them know whats up and are in favor of it.
Except BabyG, that person is obviously mentally unstable and probably living in gay denial.

Yeah. they are kick-@$$ books! I will definitely let my kids read them because they're a fun read and the fact that Dumbledore is gay is not even part of the story. The main focus of the book is the war(s) between good and evil.

Yeah, they are great books. I was surprised at the revelation, but since it is not explicit, I don't have a problem with my children reading them. The books are fun of imagination, good moral judgements by the main characters and great writing.

Well it's late. The last book has already come out. But Rowling never sad he was gay, she said she always thought of him as gay, not meaning that he's a gay character.

No Way! How could you possibly think I would let my adult children, who have already read all of these books, continue to read them now that we know this horrendous fact?
Why would it make a difference?
