I have no idea.

Why do people give a rat's ass if a REAL person is gay? Because they're idiots.

Eh. His relationship with Grindelwald and their letters back and forth kind of hinted that they were more than friends, so it's not really out of nowhere.
Plus, if she wants to use her influence to help out the gay community, then more power to her. I don't see anything wrong with that. It's not like she needed or cared about the extra attention, seeing as she was already world-famous and richer than the queen by then.

Clearly, you didn't read them very closelythe evidence is there.

She stated that he was in love with Gellert Grindelwalt, which is probably why he was so upset when he found out Grindelwalt was nothing more than a mean wizard, hungry for power. I think saying "He should have been written more gay" is a bit weird. Can a character in a book/film only be gay if he puts on all-pink clothes and sings and dances around? I think it's good that she didn't make it obvious, because that's the whole point of Dumbledore: 5b4we think we know him, but actually, we don't.
What do you want, a Harvey Wallbanger?
How is Harvey Wallbanger one word?

I have read the books and I never took him as gay. Eccentric, definitely! But not gay. If JK Rowling had wanted him to be gay, she should had wrote him that way in the first place. It was an afterthought on her part. Sounded like she just said it to keep the gays happy so they wouldn't scream she was racist. I guarantee you at some point, somewhere, someone said something to her about there being no gays in Hogwarts or any place else in her books for that matter.
Even gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said, "But I am disappointed that she did not make Dumbledore's sexuality explicit in the Harry Potter book. Making it obvious would have sent a much more powerful message of understanding and acceptance."
Jk knew exactly what she was doing, she wouldn't have sold as many books if parents knew Dumbledore was gay.

Honestly I've never read the books, but didn't the idea of Dumbledore being gay sort of come out of nowhere? What I find annoying is the need to bring it up as a forced "statement" or "publicity stunt" of some kind.
Okay, so the character is gay. What purpose does that serve exactly? Will he find a gay lover? Is there gay marriage in this Harry Potter universe. Or is he gay for the sake of being gay and we should just leave it at that?
Dumbledore in the films, especially the first two, to me came off more Asexual than a homosexual.

Because they are homophobic individuals whom cannot accept they cared for a character whom was a homosexual.

It's because the Harry Potter fans don't realise it is fictional!

I KNOW!!

Who gives a rat's ass if anyone is gay?

INSIGHTFUL SAYINGS!
