Gandalf the White and Professor Albus Dumbledore are having a wedding -- and you're invited.

The two fictional characters will wed this Sunday, June 7, at the Equality House in Topeka, Kansas. The Equality House is a building painted the colors of the gay pride flag and sitting across the street from The Westboro Baptist compound. It is sponsored by non-profit Planting Peace.

A potential marriage between Gandalf and Dumbldore started as a viral news story when Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling tweeted a meme proposing "what if Dumbledore and Gandalf were gay together?" when Ireland passed the country's Marriage Equality Referendum. Westboro then tweeted at the author, threatening to picket a fictional wedding ceremony -- and Rowling had the perfect response.

Two of the more reckless people with other people's lives in the history of fiction... to be played off as good guys.

Well, Gandalf isn't human, he's Istari, so not only is this a gay wedding, but an inter-species one as well.

But not the first.

See Melian and Thingol.

Poking fun at Westboro is too easy. Can't they do this at a megachurch?

Megachurches even have less to do with religion than Westboro Baptist. Church tax exemption should have a building capacity limit.
