Things I really don’t want to know
Just as most of us, at least through childhood, like to cling to the comforting belief that we are all products of some type of immaculate virginal conception (“My parents didn’t do that! Yuck!), so too do I prefer that some fictional characters function in a cerebral world devoid of messy sexuality. I therefore really, really didn’t need to know that Albus Dumbledore, amazing headmaster of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books, is gay. It is, to my mind, too much information.
