Since news of Dumbledore's, uh, supposed sexual preference there's been a plethora of posts, pictures, blogs and general bemusement. Here are a few links to some of the things that have appeared on the 'net over the past week.

Bush Seeks to Ban Marriage Between Fictitious Gay Characters - "Just days after Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling revealed that the popular professor character Albus Dumbledore was gay, President George W. Bush told the nation that he would seek a ban on fictitious gay weddings..." 

Homo-Pocus - "Given that the previous two entries exposed my indoorsy-geeky side, I thought that I would make it a hat-trick by showing my knowledge of the Harry Potter books..."

The Web Pen Blog - "Mateo: Does that make Professor McGonagall his fag hag?
Howard: When it was first announced all I could think of was NAMBLA.
Mateo: Well, it wasn't like Dumbledore was trying to get into Harry's robes.
Howard: No, just trying to get him to whip his wand out..."

The Sorting Hat says bugger off ... - "The weekend edition post about J.K. Rowling outing her own character reminded me of a conversation I had in a Starbuck's a few years ago. I'll bet everyone who's ever been hit on by a male Potter fan has had some rendition of this conversation..." 

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - "When Don Surber, the brightest guy in West Virginia and the dimmest guy in journalism, read that Albus Dumbledore was gay, he was beside himself. He spit a partially-chewed Slim Jim Moonpie on his computer monitor and tossed an almost full can of Fanta Grape soda RC Cola across the room in a rage unparalleled since he heard that the Dukes of Hazzard was being cancelled..."

"Racing the Wind" - Fan fiction is sure to be pumping out the prose with the revelation of Dumbledore's preference. Here's one where Grindelwald becomes the object of D's desires... 

A commentary... Fueling the Hate of Harry Potter - watch out for those "Battlestar Galactica" spoilers... 

Other humorous online stops:

Wondermark - comic about the last Harry Potter book... (no spoiler necessary) 

Potterdammerung - MEGA spoilers - the entire 7th book done in gibberish, webspeak, LOLtalk  and general lunacy. Excerpt from the beginning:

A small village in rural England, the sort of place that has an unbelievably high murder rate and unaccountably inept local cops who must rely on sweet old ladies to solve crimes. Two men materialize in front of the gate of a palatial estate.

Yaxley: HAI I IZ DEATHEATER NOT APPEARING IN PREVIOUS BOOKS. YOU HAS NEWS?

Snape: Of course I have news. I'm an evil genius of unaccountable intelligence.

YAXLEY: THAT IZ GOOD. WE B FRENDS?

Snape: Come on, Lord Voldiething is waiting.

YAXLEY: LOOK MALFOY BE HAVING ALBINO PEACOCKS LOLOLOLOLZ!
