This morning someone tweeted a homophobic comment at J.K. Rowling:
@jk_rowling once u revealed Dumbledore was homosexual I stopped being a fan. Nice how u blindsided us with that one. Enjoy your billion $.
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...
And she left us with one more piece of advice...
If you're waiting for universal popularity, you'll be on Twitter a VERY long time. xxxx
Nailed it.
