Ahahahha, I don't think he's gay!!!! Ahaaah!!!

^^ J.K. said that he was so of course is he gay!

Yeah J.K said he's gay, but he's never acted gay in any way.

^"Acted gay"? I beg you pardon? Just because he wasn't dancing to the Village People?

But still, i never seen any sign of him gay, and yeah, JKR said in an interview "Dumbledore was always supposed to be gay" there was never anything in the books or movies that suggested him as gay, if he 'is' supposed to be gay, he sure never showed it. Just my opinion anyway, jeez!

If JKR said so, than its probably true. But I wouldn`t say that just by reading books.

JK said so.. if we dont agree with the Author of the book, then I honestly dont know what to say.

Just because you dont like the idea of it, it doesnt mean its not true. Just because he shows 'no signs of being gay' it doesnt mean he's not. I mean.. Alicia Spinnet is most probably straight, but its never mentioned in the books -- it doesnt mean shes not straight, just because its not mentioned. The same with Dumbledore. He doesnt seem like the sort of person to flaunt his sexuality.

But by saying 'i don't think he is gay, he never showed it' it's my opinion! Yes i know he was gay, but he never showed it, am i not allowed to have my opinion?

And isn't this just a question of opinion, rather than stating facts?

Yes, J.K. did say it, but I'm just not seeing Dumbledore as gay, I mean seriously, he was a fine character before all this came out (no pun intended) but I just don't see him like that at all. I agree wth harryandsiriusx, I don't see any examples of how he was gay.

The examples are: (And JK Rowling actually said this) That Dumbledore was in love with Grindelwald when he was a kid. She said this in an interview, and I thought it was interesting. There is nothing bad about this in any way.

I don't think any straight guys would be wearing high-heeled buckled boots. (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, U.S. Scholastic paperback edition, pg. 8)

harryandsiriusx and boolander25, i know that Dumbledore never shows any signs of being gay in the series, i agree with that too. but if JK said it, then its obviously true! shes the author of the freakin books.

I already made my mind up about him and McGonagall before Jo said something AFTER the books were released.

Ok, yes, I know that it's true because JKR said it, but I just don't agree. I never said he wasn't.

JKR said it, so.. yes.

r u sure she said tht?

This possibility had never crossed my mind before I saw this interview, but finally, I'm not very surprised. It corresponds fairly to the character, and as J.K. Rowling said it, I believe her^^

I was expecting that he was gay, in my opinion it was the only explanation to why he was so blind to the many faults of Gellert Grindelwald.
When JK said it I was like: 'YES! I was right... and I love JK even more now'

if the author of the book clearly stated that he is gay then of course it's true, why wouldn't anyone believe it?

^thats exactly my point, thank you!

Obviously

I'm sorry, but "a gay"? We wouldn't say a straight. Just gay and straight people. Jeez.

No. No no no. She doesnt say that he is until after all the books are over? No. It was a publicity stunt. I refuse to ever believe that he was, it just seems too creepy because of all the time he spent with Harry.

I also made up my mind that him and McGonagall had a thing back when I was like 12. ;)

^ It seems too creepy because of all the time he spent with Harry? WTF??? So it'd be creepy if McGonagall helped Harry then? Because she's not a gay man.

^ It seems too creepy because of all the time he spent with Harry?

@ HuddyJoy0524: OMG!!! Typical gay stereotyping...and that one is the most repugnant of them all. This statement is the most ignorant that I've read on this so far.

shut up all u ppl who r saying "omg! jk said it! heehee!" this is 4 ppl's OPINIONS!!!!!!! and lotz of ppl refuse 2 beleive this crap...im 1. i dont think he is gay but if the stupid author said it maybe its tru. w/e. all ik is that idont think he acted like 1

Some people who are gay can actually behave like every straight human does.BTW,JK is NOT stupid.

I percieved this as a question of opinion and i myself have never seen the interview but based on what was seemingly stated in the books i didnt think so

JKR said he was, so he is. Any question ?
Seriously, when in the first book you saw Hermione has brown eyes or Ron has red hair, didn't you believe it ?
It's the same with Dumbledore. He loves men, so what ? Does it make him less interresting ? Not at all.
Dumbledore is still Dumbledore, gay or straight, black or white, fat or thin, brown haired or blond... Who cares ?
Dumbledore is Dumbledore. Whatever the way you want him to be.

And "acting gay" ?? You must act a certain way to be gay ? What about straight people ? Must they "act straight" to be considered as such ? It's pitiful to think like that...

I agree Mermaid-Tail and KaewillDH.
The author decided he was gay so he is. That's all.
And um, it may be stupid but as I know, Dumbledore wasn't married. Okay, it's stupid. Never mind.

Im not a homophobic person but Gay/Lesbian people do have a style or different way of acting sometimes and I didnt see that in Dumbledore.

JK Rowling syas he's gay, he's gay. End of story. She made this character up, she created him.

JK Rowling said so , but I think he was rather asexual

JKR, aka, the creator of Harry Potter, stated he is. So he is. Then each fan can think of him anyway they want to.

Yep, JK Rowling said
