More on Dumbledore...
Oct. 24th, 2007 08:04 pmTLC Interviews GLAAD
Interesting to see what organizations like GLAAD are saying about the big revelation... makes me happy to see people being so positive about it and saying that it's an important step forward for equality in the media. :) GLAAD's not in Canada, is it? I wish it was, I'd love to get involved. I really like the idea of working on queer representations in the media. I'm looking into organizations in Canada that support gay and lesbian issues, because I want to get involved and volunteer, but I don't even know where to start... or what I want to do. I just feel like I want to make some kind of difference in something I believe strongly in. *sigh*
Also, I want to make a t-shirt with this gorgeous picture (lineart by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mon_starling and colouring by railiens). And some kinda text, either "Ablus/Gellert - it's canon!" or "Dumbledore has Pride!" with Pride in rainbow letters. :) Or something like that. Part of me also wants to wear it under my HP robe to work next week (we have to dress up, sweet!), but I probably shouldn't. Heh. I want something that celebrates it but isn't too obvious... I'm torn between wanting to make it very clear and wanting to avoid people going "wtf"... I know I shouldn't care, but I'm sensitive that way. ;) If people freak out at me because of it I'll get all angry and depressed.
Though on a completely unrelated note, god I wish I could colour (and draw...) like that. They both did a fantastic job... I'm at a loss to even figure out how to make my colouring look anything like that in PS - don't even know what tools I should use. *sigh*
I've also got a bunch of thoughts percolating in my brain about the importance of love in Harry Potter and what love means in the series and in particular to four of the main characters (Harry, Severus, Albus, and Voldemort). I have no idea if they'll get written down, but I felt like sharing that. ;) I think there are a number of new things to say about love post-DH, and even now that we know about Albus's true feelings for Gellert - that definitely changes some things, I think, in terms of his capacity for love and what he'll do for it and in spite of it. Anyway. Possibly more later. :)
EDIT: Oh yeah, and GIP - credit toutaki02. Needed a Dumbledore is Gay icon. :)
