Rowling drops the gay bomb
Lines:
I hate to say it, but it probably will once the movie comes out. That always happens. Kind of annoying really.
I always thought of Dumbledore as somewhat asexual, so him having an unrequited love of another guy doesn't bother me. The books kind of described him as flamboyant (the suit he wore when he first met Voldie, etc), even for a wizard, so hey, it works. And Grindelwald really makes sense, seeing as they'd been so close and almost intellectually equal.
ThePQ4:
I seriously hope that there will be some good (GOOD! not trashy) Young!Dumbledore/Young!Grindewald fanfiction to come out of this... I had an idea in my head, but I think I might just let it go... I have to much other crap to do.
As for the whole "thing", I'm glad that she had this idea of Dumbledore's past in her head, and that he was gay as a part of it. I am wondering if it something that was known in the wizarding world, or if he rose to greatness in "hiding". There are just a bunch more unanswered questions now. Damn you, Rowling.

she wrote a novel, not a gay-rights tract. just because a character is gay doesn't mean the author needs to make a statement about all homosexuals.
