What is it with wizards and sex?

Remember all that craze that hit us about a month ago, when the "Harry Potter" author J. K. Rowling let the whole world know one of her best loved characters, professor Dumbledore, was in fact gay? Well, I think Rowling must have had some vision, or at least a wicked sense of humor in allowing the headmaster of Hogwarts out of the closet, since there is something about gay wizards that seems to pop out every now and then in a delightfully refreshing way.

This time, it's a real-life gay actor - and a famous one, for that matters - who brought to life an equally, if not more famous wizard. I'm talking about sir Ian McKellen, who is not only a very talented actor, but also a gay rights activist, co-founder of Stonewall, a UK gay rights lobby group, which campaigns for equality for the gay and lesbian community. And his latest wish - which, unfortunately, he can't put into practice by waving a wand and mumbling a few funny words into his beard - is that his eventful life be turned into a movie, with Justin Timberlake playing the lead role.

"Justin vaguely resembles people in my family, and I think he is really talented" he stated recently. Well, actually, I must be allowed to doubt his reasons for singling out Justin as being at the top of his wish list. I mean, don't get me wrong - I think he's right to say Timberlake's got talent and all that - but really, I think there is something else about him - maybe that wonderful quality that made him actually go on live television and sing about wrapping his genitals in a box and offering them to his girlfriend as a Christmas present. Or maybe something else - but there's a feeling of distinct shamelessness (in the best possible sense) about Justin that makes people relate to his more...feminine side.

So, don't be surprised if in a year or so we'll be seeing Justin dressed in white and waving around a staff with glowing lights at one end. It will be for a good cause - and maybe we'll even get to see Justin step into Jake Gyllenhaal's shoes and kissing another guy on screen. That would really be something - only I hope they manage to find someone less scruffy than Heath Ledger.
