It was clearly suggested in the books, but times were different back then and it would have damaged the books commercial viability to make him openly gay. J.K. Rowling didn't just randomly make Dumbledore gay to get media attention--it was always there in the subtext. If the books were written today, she likely would have made him open about it.

I didn't really think it was that surprising. Old, unmarried man with fabulous robes and shoes? What were you expecting? I don't find it hard to believe Rowling always intended it either. The fact he was gay just never came up. I mean, why would it? :v No one was interested in his love life after all.

It doesn't matter whether he's gay or not to me. My issue is with the "proof." Dumbledore/Grindelwald works the same whether Dumbledore was attracted to him or if he was straight and they were friends. You don't have to be attracted to someone to be hurt and betrayed by them. He's gay because Rowling says he is, and that's okay, but I'm not going to pretend the books are filled with proof.

He's gay because Rowling says he is, and that's okay, but I'm not going to pretend the books are filled with proof. "Proof" is literally irrelevant you can have a gay character that is married to a woman and has 6 kids because that's not how homosexuality works. People can and do hide the fact that they're gay and enter heterosexual relationships that they're generally miserable make it appear that they're not actually gay. The only thing that makes Dumbledore gay is that Rowling said he was. She did so after the fact as she was trying to post-inject diversity into her generally all hetero white european kids books. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

Even if she did have this unrealistically cynical motive that you've ascribed to her, that would still make him gay. No one cares about the Pottermore backstory she gives to every brick in Hogwarts, but this one thing makes people so butthurt. --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So?

I don't really care cause I'm not *that* into Harry Potter.
But it did seem like Rowling just said he was gay just to have a gay character in her books, but at the same time that works better. That shit is only annoying when they try to make a characters whole background that they are gay or something. ... Copied to Clipboard!
