Resonant statements from Joan Rowling, published in Twitter a couple of weeks ago, still have consequences.

The defenders of the LGBT rights were intervened, and the situation began to grow as a snowball.
As a result, the other day it became known that four author who, together with Rowling, were collaborated with the Blair Partnership Agency, they were forced to leave, because they did not wait from the company of a sane response to the words of the writer.

The Four of the Writers stressed that "inequality and oppression" are far-reaching problems and ignore them can not, and also made a donation to the fund involved in the help of women who suffered from family violence.

Rowling itself has not yet commented on the situation, but if the situation continues to grow in such a way, it may have to apologize for his words.
