I think that the fact that J.K. Rowling incorporated a character that is attributed with an alternative life style is an important maneuver. It is an encamping move. And the series may once have been aimed towards children, but can one really try to hide behind the “its a children’s book” after the scenes in the past two books? I think not! The people that are reading this book at this point are teenagers and young adults, 16+. The people who actually have to be concerned with things such as sexual identity. A good example of this is say, a 16 year old male is a homosexual, but does not understand the feelings that he is having, would it not be comforting for this teen to have a familiar icon with the same preferences? This was a very good move. It has nothing to do with publicity, nothing to do with cash, well maybe a little. But primarily, it is to make the characters more human. It was great for her to reveal that one of the most powerful characters in this series leads an alternative life style. And gays are not mean, what the hell was with that comment?!? That’s just bigoted; you can’t group people together like that. That’s pre Martin Luther king Jr. Status.

She got her kids’ visitation suspended for not getting in contact with the drug testing people and now she’s reportedly stood up her parenting coach. Does Britney Spears get off on antagonizing the law as much as she can?

Sources say that the troubled pop star had a scheduled time to meet the coach a few days ago at her Malibu home. The coach got there but there was no Britney in sight. Some sources are also saying that it was the coach who phoned in to ask the Commissioner to suspend the home visits presumably because it’s going nowhere.

It’s safe to say that Britney doesn’t listen to anyone.
