I had no judgment on Dumbledore's sexuality whatsoever. He was the wise old mentor figure - anda don't really think about his romantic life much. I mean, did anda ever think about Obi Wan Kenobi's cinta life, atau Yoda's?
In any case, it made the story about Grindewald far lebih convincing, and that was all I cared about. If Dumbledore was just good friends with Grindewald, I feel that wouldn't stop him from seeing the EVIL in Grindewald's actions. Harry would recognize if Ron went Death Eater, wouldn't he? But love... cinta unfortunately can make it hard to see the flaws in our lover. If he was in love with Grindewald, then his blindness to Grindewald's plans is much lebih plausible.
It fit with the story, and it was subtle, and if I recall, the only reason she even berkata he was gay was because people kept asking who the cinta of his life was, and she couldn't say "Grindewald" without revealing his sexuality.
Honestly, I think too big a deal was made about this. Activists celebrated it way too much, and anti-gay advocates condemned it way to harshly.
It's a fictional character. His sexuality doesn't matter. Rowling was trying to answer the pertanyaan people bombarded her with about her character. That's all.
I know its her character but, she released that info after all the buku were done so I made up my own mind already. I think that he likes Prof. McGonagall. But that is just me. I never saw any clues that told me he was gay, but in the end whether he is atau is not I believe is up to each individuals imagination.
I think it was realy stypid from J.K Rowling to just say: Oh btw he is gay! Like she was just suddenly decide that he is gay.. I'm not saying that being a gay is bad thing
At first, I was like "WTF?!?" then it became a talking point around my gang and we started making up stories about what Harry and Dumbledore really did in the HBP special 'lessons'... LOL

Would anda have talked about those "stories" if Dumbledore was straight and it was Hermione in his office all the time? I know anda were joking, and I don't mean to sound defensive, I just want anda to think about why anda made jokes about that.
Ecstastic! I think it's wonderful! Dear old Dumbles, it's the only thing I like about. And it makes me respect Rowling even more. And it shows that not all gay people are stereotypical Hey girlfriend! kind of homosexual (even though they are pretty fabulous, too!). Now, this begs the question: Gandalf gay, too? XD
I was really shocked, and it was sorta weird for a little while but then I just accepted it... it was so acak though! Just telling us that out of nowhere :P
I was just like...."Oh....okay?" I didn't really care LOL; my adoration for Dumbledore's character didn't change. However, I thought it was pretty stupid that she announced this AFTER the buku came out.
Well, apart from Snape and Hagrid non of the Hogwarts' teachers ever showed any interest in the opposite atau same sex, lol! So does that mean that Dumbledore's interest in Grindelwald was sexual in the first place? Now we have to re-interpret their duel, I dare say! Anyway, Dumbledore DOES seem lebih excentric than the common British wizard. And his feelings towards Harry are surely pure fatherly - he may be gay, but he is past hormonal struggles, I'd say.
I know anda weren't saying this AT ALL, but it really bugs me when people say "Does that mean he wanted to have sex with Harry? He paid him all that special attention!" If Dumbledore WAS straight, and it was Hermione who was "the Girl Who Lived", would we be saying he wanted to molest her? No! Of course not! This doesn't change his relationship with Harry a lick. I agree, it was completely fatherly, and to read lebih into it than that is assuming that all gay men are pedophiles.
I didn't actually find anything in the buku atau film that made him act like he was gay. It doesn't matter if he was, because he's still the same wise, man. But when she berkata that it made me feel weird because I thought he was straight.
I LOLed so hard! I thought that probably every other character, except him, is gay. XD But I can understand it, and it's so cute~~ haha but only if anda imagine it when he was young, it's just weird to think of him having any kind of relationship in the timeline of the book.... But than again it's weird even if he was straight. XD
The world has gone mad!!! That's what I thought. I've always thought about why he never talked about any woman in his life (wife, girlfriend, etc) and considered thi option but JK Rowling berkata it... I don't know...
my bro told me he was gay and I thought he was joking for the longest time I'd just say yeah right whatever. then he forced me to look it up and all I could think was what no. then it was like oh okay then there anda have it
