J.K. Rowling Does NOT Let the Westboro Baptist Church Talk Shit on the Weddings of Gay Wizards

What a bunch of Muggles, amirite?

It all started with this tweet from Rowling:

Which elicited the mashup wizard wedding joke above, but some people just can’t let a parade go un-rained on.

Incendio! Someone call Madam Pomfrey—they’re going to need magic to heal that burn.

But it’s not just about one tweet or one hateful entity. Rowling, like us, is of the mind that hate speech should be challenged no matter where it comes from.
