AP: J.K. Rowling returns human rights award amid criticism from organization
I have to side with JKR on this one. Her statements were obviously taken out of context by somebody who has an agenda.
AP: J.K. Rowling returns human rights award amid criticism from organization
Quote:Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling says she is returning an award from a human rights group linked to the Kennedy family after the president of the organization criticized her comments about transgender issues.
Rowling's decision comes after Kerry Kennedy, the president of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights nonprofit and the late American senator's daughter, published a statement expressing her "profound disappointment" with the author's comments.
"The statement incorrectly implied that I was transphobic, and that I am responsible for harm to trans people," Rowling said on her website.
