Harry Potter Question: Is Dumbledore Gay?

[NeoSupaMario]

Im not trying to be prejudice against gay people, but as a harry potter fan I need to know. I already know what j.k. Rowling said, but is Dumbledore rlly gay? I can't tell. At the beginning of the sixth movie he even picks up a magazine like Cosmo Politan or Maxim.

 

[emigre]

Yes, yes he is. He was once went on few dates with my Uncle Mike.

[NeoSupaMario]

Spoiler

In 2007, J.K. Rowling revealed that Dumbledore is homosexual, and harboured romantic feelings for Gellert Grindelwald. No comment was made upon Grindelwald's sexuality or whether Grindelwald returned his feelings, so the status of the relationship is unknown. Rowling also commented that "this added to Dumbledore's horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was." This love was caused by Dumbledore meeting someone "as brilliant as he was." Only the subtlest of hints can be found in Deathly Hallows relating to this. Reportedly the earliest indication of Dumbledore's orientation came when Rowling vetoed a line of dialogue in one of the recent film scripts that would have referenced a romantic involvement with a woman. Rowling explains this further by elaborating on the motivations behind Dumbledore's flirtation with the idea of wizard domination of Muggles: "He lost his moral compass completely when he fell in love and I think subsequently became very mistrustful of his own judgement in those matters so became quite asexual. He led a celibate and a bookish life."

Dumbledore was inlove with Grindelwald. This made him blindly believe in Grindelwald's belief that wizards should dominate over muggles.
Ever since they went downhill, Dumbledore became mistrusting of himself.
And this is juust speculation on my side, but that's probably one of the reasons Dumbledore doesnt want to be trusted with power.

JK said he was gay, so he was. No argument.

Why would you need evidence from the books or movies? The author of those books told everyone.



Why on earth does a fictional characters sexuality matter at all?

That thing you're saying from the 6th movie prolly was just Dumbledor'es connection with the muggle world being reinforced or something.

I think this rumor gets perpetuated because people confuse Dumbledore with Gandalf, who is gay (irl anywho).

I'm pretty sure they're the same guy. After LOTR, Gandalf went to run Hogwartz under a different name.
