Gandalf and Dumbledore are gonna get married!

There’s a kid at the local middle school who’s probably feeling very vindicated right now.

Let me explain. At one of the schools I substitute at, I noticed in the work posted on the hallway bulletin boards that the French teacher had the students create family trees. “This is my father, his name is ____, he is ____ years old, he is <adjective> and <adjective>”, that sort of thing (all in French, of course). Predictably, all of the family trees were populated entirely by movie stars or characters. Well, one of the kids had a family tree with a grandmother and grandfather on one side, like normal, and Gandalf and Dumbledore as two grandfathers on the other side (IIRC, Marilyn Monroe served as a birth mother for them).

And no, that wasn’t even the only same-sex parentage listed on the family trees, and yes, I do live in a very progressive school district.

Here’s the article on the wedding, from the Topeka Captial Journal

It’s said that the identity of the two guys is not going to be revealed, but an article several days ago gave their names, which I don’t remember, and the info that they are partners in real life.

Is that a euphemism?
