Among the contributors to the anthology is Harry Potter author JK Rowling. At the request of fan favorite Batman artist and DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee, Rowing allowed Love is Love to include an Albus Dumbledore quote from Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire. The quote accompanies Lee’s drawing of Dumbledore, whom Rowling confirmed extra-textually to be gay, with students Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.

The quote reads, “Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.” Check out the artwork below..

Love is Love also features contributions from Damon Lindelof, Morgan Spurlock, Matt Bomer, Marc Andreyko, Phil Jimenez, Brandon Peterson, Elsa Charretier, Jesus Saiz, Leinil Yu, Matt Wagner, Mike Carey, Patton Oswalt, Paul Jenkins, Steve Sadowski and Olivier Coipel.
