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

Ireland recently became the first country in the world to approve marriage equality by popular vote, and good old J.K. did not hold back in spreading the good news—even when some Internet users didn’t want to hear it.

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.
