Cause & Effect, or It Was Bound to Happen

Four days after J.K. Rowling told a Carnegie Hall audience that Dumbledore was gay Bill O'Reilly had this to say:

O’REILLY: Now, Dumbledore is not overtly gay in the book.

TINA JORDAN: Absolutely not.

O’REILLY: So you wouldn’t know whether he was gay or not, right?

JORDAN: And in fact, you don’t know anything about the sex lives of any of the teachers.

O’REILLY: Of any of them. Although those wizards, I’m very very suspicious about what they’re doing in their spare time. So, I think, this is my conclusion, is that J.K. Rowling is a provocateur, did it on purpose, and now is going to let all hell break loose.

Yes, who knows what those fictional witches and wizards are doing when they're not advancing the narrative? Maybe they're cooking up some terrorist plot! Oh, wait, Dumbledore's a good guy. And gay. J.K. Rowling is equating homosexuality with goodness! She wants us all to be gay!

Methinks he doth protest too much.
