Though she doesn't tweet often, Rowling responded to this troll with just the right amount of snark...

@halfelven55ff I advise you to start following Brian Souter at once. He's much more your kind of person.

Brian Souter, Scotland's richest businessman, is known for funding and supporting anti-gay legislation.

After doling out that not-so-subtle suggestion, Rowling got lots of positive support from fans.

I want to thank all the people tweeting me lovely messages. Don't worry about me - to paraphrase Albus Dumbledore...
