This straight moron becomes an instant gay pride statement with his Dumbledore tattoo
This straight moron becomes an instant gay pride statement with his Dumbledore tattoo - Towleroad
A father of five in the UK is apparently being teased by his kids and his co-workers now that Dumbledore, which he spent a year getting tattooed onto his back, has been outed by J.K. Rowling.
Said Paul Croft to The Sun: "It’s been terrible. I’ve always liked Dumbledore – just not in that way. I went into work and everyone was sniggering. When I walked in, one of the lads said, 'Oi, Paul – heard about Dumbledore?' There were wisecracks about 'Watch your backs, lads.' Someone asked me if I was planning to get a tattoo of Graham Norton. I thought, 'Why me?' It seemed like a good idea at the time. The whole thing took nearly a year. I was really pleased with the result. The tattoo is about 2ft in length and shows Dumbledore played by Richard Harris – who was the original and best. I don’t regret it and I’m not going to get rid of it."
The tattoo, which cost him £500, shows Dumbledore holding a scroll with the names of his five children.

Dumbledore's Gay: Does Anyone Care?
Harry Potter fans' favorite magical, wand-wielding headmaster is gay, says the series' author, and as it turns out, many bookworms don't love him any less because of it.
Story
Rowling Lets Dumbledore Out of the Closet
Parents around the country told ABCNEWS.com that when their children heard the news that professor Albus Dumbledore — who was also Potter's mentor — was gay, most of them shrugged it off.
Robin Moyher, who writes for the Chicago Mom's Blog, said that her son was not at all upset about the wizard's sexuality.
"So what? It's a fact of life," Moyher's 9-year-old son said upon hearing the news.
Dumbledore was outed by Potter creator J.K. Rowling at an Oct. 19 question and answer session at New York City's Carnegie Hall, where a young fan inquired as to whether the headmaster had ever been in love.

"Dumbledore is gay, actually," replied Rowling, who went on to explain that he had once loved Gellert Grindelwand, a fellow wizard, but was then let down when he went to the "dark side."
Grindelwand's downfall, Rowling said, was Dumbledore's "great tragedy."
While some readers have seemingly embraced — or perhaps ignored — Dumbledore's newfound sexuality, whether a more serious backlash is brewing has yet to be seen — will all fans take the "who cares" approach to the news, or will the series' popularity be cursed?
Most Fans Remain Under the Potter Spell
"I think my kids would find it more captivating to discuss a character's magical power than a character being gay," said Devra Renner, author of "Mommy Guilt" and a contributor to the DC Metro Mom's blog. "Being gay isn't much of a mystery to my kids, as we've had ongoing discussions about families, those with two parents, one parent, adopted, etc. My kids know gay people. Magical people? Not so much."
Many parents echoed Renner's thoughts and said that kids nowadays know what being gay means, and found Rowling's announcement to be irrelevant, especially considering it was never mentioned in any of the books.

Say it ain't so!!!
Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi have split?! Don't crush my lesbian dreams! A source told Star Magazine that the reason Ellen lost it on her show had little to do with Iggy and more to do with her 3-year relationship to Portia coming to an end. Using Iggy to mask your real heartache?! How rude!
A source said that their 15 year age difference is having an effect. "Portia has been telling Ellen she’s very unhappy at home. When it comes down to it, she wants to be with someone younger ad hotter. She wants out, but Ellen has been begging her to stay. Portia is really everything in this world to her.”
Portia is a dumb bitch! Ellen is rich as hell! Porta get it together. While you're sucking on that old, lanky vagina just think of dollar signs.
If that doesn't work just go running naked through the desert claiming your name is Celestia and you're the daughter of God!

Who's Your Daddy!
This is David Phillips and he claims to have had sex with Larry Craig! You know? That toe-tappin' senator from Idaho who got busted in the men's room. David spoke to Wonkette about his tryst with Larry. This is barf-inducing.
David met Larry 20 years ago at this bar called La Cage aux Follies on Capitol Hill.
David said, “When we got to what reminded me of a rarely used guest room, he stripped me down, and the man’s hands and mouth were all over me. He kept his pants on, though, while laying me back on the bed to suck my cock. Then, he stripped naked and asked me to suck him. I complied for a while, then he disappeared and returned with lube and a condom to fuck me me with. It was a clumsy and unremarkable fuck, except that I wasn’t clean and he was frantic about not getting my shit on anything. Still, he blew his load, ripped the dirty condom off and ordered me to get dressed without wiping myself. He hurried me to the back door, again ranting, ‘You were never here. You don’t know me. Right?’”
Larry then practically pushed David out the door, handed him $20 and said, "Remember, I can buy and sell your ass ten thousand times over. You were never here. Don’t try to come back here. You don’t know me."
Damn, at least David went back to his house and got $20. I usually end up walking out of the alley with a face full of grodiness and a new case of crabs. TT Larry sounds like a dream date.
So Toe-Tappin' Larry likes to top bears?! Yogi better watch it. Please! That's a power-bottom if I've ever seen one!
Is it wrong that David's story kind of turned me on? Ugh, I need a shower and a ciggie now.
Thanks Kim & Dlisted.com
