JK Rowling: secret slasher?

[norwich36]

I don't count Rowling's interviews as spoilery; I'm only cut-tagging because she mentions a new character in book 7 as a romantic interest of Dumbledore's, even though it's not specifically mentioned in the book:



"Answering a question posed to her at tonight's book reading at Carnegie Hall in New York, Harry Potter author JK Rowling said she "always thought Dumbledore was gay" and that he originally fell in love with the wizard Grindelwald.

Rowling also said she had read through Steve Kloves' script for the movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and corrected a passage in which Dumbledore was reminiscing about past loves by crossing it out and scrawling "Dumbledore is gay" over it.

Upon hearing her response, a hush fell over the audience in attendence and then applause exploded. Rowling remarked that if she had known that would be the response, she would've revealed her thoughts on Dumbledore earlier." Taken from here: http://www.hpana.com/news.20228.html

So where *is* all the Dumbledore/Grindewald slash, anyway?
