Dumbledore's sexuality. . .

Billie's Willie:

There was a skit on British TV where Dumbledore was leaning over the pensieve and was like "Harry.. we have to talk, but first.. dance with me!" and the camera pulled out, and he has his ass hanging out in chaps, and started dancing to some disco music! It was awesome.

Peardrops:

It's not like his sexuality makes any difference at all.
If it was supposed to, it would've been mentioned in the books - not after the series had finished.

Maybe she just wanted to 'keep the fire lit' as it goes.you know, more to spazz about even after the books are finished...or maybe she just wanted to wind up all those over obsessive christians

Or maybe it didn't make the slightest bit of difference to her and she just gave an honest answer to a fan's question.

Although he stole James` ska joke.

I think it's kind of stupid, to be honest. It was an after-the-fact thing to get publicity that had nothing to do with the story line. Also, Dumbledore, like the wizards he's based upon (Merlin, Gandalf, et cetera) is supposed to be this old wizened non sexual guy. He's not supposed to even think about sexual feelings, it ruins his portrait.

Sheepless and redundant:

It's hardly a publicity stunt when someone asked her the question. It's not like she woke up one morning and said 'right! Dumbledore's gay, let's tell the world!'

And I'm sorry, just because someone is old it means they're not supposed to love? A sexual preference isn't just about intercourse, it's about love as well, and to even think for a moment that once you get to a certain age you are not allowed to love is preposterous, in my opinion.

I agree FP.

I know, but it just seems to not have anything to do with the book. I'm not saying he can't love at a certain age, it's just that all the wizards he's directly based off don't and it seems rather strange for me

It's very important to the book! Why did Dumbledore turn a blind eye to all Grindelward's plans for muggle torture? Because he was blinded by love. It's not irrelevant in the slightest. Had Dumbledore not loved Grindelward, he probably would have seen him properly for what he was and tried to prevent his plans before he got a chance to cause much damage.

What you have to remember is that Dumbledore is as human as the rest of us, and it shouldn't be strange from any sort of perspective that he is also prone to having feelings, just as we all do.

Also.. Gandalf is a raging queer.

I second that. I'm glad that JK wrote what she wrote and said what she said. It makes him more human, to show that everyone makes mistakes and most of the time in the end that things can turn out okay, or that people will still love you for who you are.
It's about tolerance

Well the hobbits do only come up to his waist

Anyway.I like teh idea of Dumbledore being gay. He'll be like the George Micheael of our time (But he wont sing or shag in public areas )

Laura omg:

I want to make a tee saying:

I really don't know what to come up with.
