Harry Potter is gay!

Reverend Graham Taylor, who penned the novel "Shadowmancer" which, like the tales of the famous boy wizard created by J.K. Rowling, centers on witchcraft and battling evil, got his marching orders after teachers accused him of homophobia.

"As for Harry Potter, well, he's not the only gay in the village," the former Anglican priest told children at Penair School in Truro, southwest England, referring to a catchphrase from the popular British comedy TV show "Little Britain."

Should 12-year-olds really be watching Little Britain? I've seen it, and it's terribly funny, but somehow I doubt most parents would consider it age-appropriate for preteen youngsters.

That having been said, the "only gay in the village" skit is hysterical.

The skit got the author thrown out because he was a stupid git.

Ummm...the quote sounded like he was trying to make a joke, which is always dangerous when speaking in public. If it fails the best that happens is an uncomfortable silence and your speech gets thrown off track. Looks like at worst you get fired. As I've not seen the show or know what it's like I don't know if it was appropriate or not. I'll take your word on that.

Also, wasn't trying to be rude in your journal. Just found it interesting how quickly you can get into trouble if you say the wrong things.
