J.K. Rowling took to Twitter recently, to answer a fan who couldn't see Dumbledore as gay.

The 49-year-old 'Harry Potter' author, who had revealed the Hogwarts headmaster, Albus Dumbledore to be gay back in 2007, had reveived a query from a fan who wrote "I wonder why you said that Dumbledore is a gay because I can't see him that way?," the Daily Star reported.

Taken aback by the question, Rowling responded writing "Maybe because gay people just look like...people?"

The post has since been deleted.

Rowling had confirmed previously as well in a QandA session with fans, that there were many LGBT students at Hogwarts School.
