Good for him. But I wonder what this revelation will do to Captain Underpants’ fortunes among young readers. "Old George, his wife, and their kids, Meena and Nik, sat on the couch, while Old Harold, his husband, and their twins, Owen and Kei, plopped down in the giant giant beanbag chair."
The passage concluded, "'We're your dads when they were kids,' said Harold."
While some are applauding Pilkey's subtle but significant words, others are quick to question if it's right for their kids.
It's a situation the famous author has encountered before.

Scholastic Inc.Fans of the Captain Underpants children's book series are in for a surprise with one of their favorite characters.
In the twelfth book of the series officially titled Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot, George and Harold meet their future selves.
And as author and illustrator Dav Pilkey quietly reveals, Harold is a gay character.
"Soon, everyone had gathered together in Old George's studio," the passage read.
At least, I think this is how it goes; there are three sets of Harold and George in this entry and I would be at a loss to tell you which one was which at any given moment. Get Digital. It’s in
The quotidian reality, by Dav Pilkey
the book, not some kind of ex post facto declaration like J.K. Rowling telling us later that Dumbledore was gay (Lisa Graff and I discussed this in a Talks With Roger earlier this month, and it came up again in my TWR with Jonathan Stroud, out next week).
I don’t know if this means Harold is gay now (the picture on the left is fan art, not from Dav Pilkey’s hand) or if he just goes gay later, but I’m reminded of a conversation I had with Jacqueline Woodson years ago about what we called “pre-gay” characters, that is, fictional children one could imagine growing into gay or lesbian adults (pretty much everybody in Harriet the Spy, for example, and Jackie cited the girls in her own House You Pass On the Way).
As a young gay reader I made these kinds of extrapolations all the time.
I’m glad, too, that Pilkey made Harold’s gayness canonical, as fans would say. All that's required is a simple change," he wrote. Adults who are horrified by the series–and they are many–will have something else to stoke their rage (who cares?); it remains to be seen if young readers will cheer, shrug it off, or taint Captain Underpants forever as “those faggot books.” (Shut up.
"Instead of saying ‘I don't think children should read this book,' just add a single word: ‘I don't think my children should read this book."
He added, "When it comes to books, we may not all agree on what makes for a good read—but I hope we can agree that letting children choose their own books is crucial to helping them learn to love reading."
Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot is available in bookstores now.
Harold goes gay
Shippers’ delight, by an enamored fan
Not this Harold, or this Harold, or even this other Harold, but THIS Haroldis gay.
Kids can be cruel, something this series knows very well.) But congratulations, Harold. Log In.
