Harry Potter Review: Is Harry Potter Gay?

This is nothing short of a ridiculous title. Ben insisted on it (I don't know about "insisted"). But we do answer this question and other burning questions about the new book, including whether "horcruxes" are actually hors or not.
Whatever you do, please don't take this so seriously. Thanks.

1. I enjoyed this clip very much. I am 45, a mother of a 7-year old who is too young to read the books yet, and I totally love the Harry Potter series and agree with everything your guest said said. I also understand the frustration of the two hosts, because my husband feels the same way as they do. When I asked if he thought I was totally crazy to go at midnight to buy my copy, he said as long as I wan't going out clubbing without him, he was ok with it. Cracked me up. Anyway, thanks to J.K. Rowling for wrapping up the series in such a imaginative and well thought out way. Loved it!

2. Hey! It's perfectly okay with me if Harry is of the persuasion. It does nothing to change my image of him as a true hero and, most of all, a sensitive human being. Harry is very cool! I pity you small-minded, weak-willed religious zealouts. Gay people have been here as long as straight people, and the only reason they're wrong in your eyes is because, SOMEONE ELSE told you that being gay is wrong - it's not based on any personal experience you may have had. People who digress are simply made to believe that being gay is wrong, by someone who had told them, and by someone who had told them, ad nauseum. Open your eyes and your mind and be a little autononous for a change, why don't you?
