Was Dumbledoor Gay in the Harry Potter Series?

Answer 1

After the 7th Harry Potter series book was published, JK Rowling gave an interview. When she was asked if Dumbledore ever fell in love, she answered: "I've always considered Dubledore as gay" and actually she said that Dumbledore was secretly in love with Gellert Grindewald, when he was young, but this love disapointed him, so, he did not fall in love ever again...

Answer 2

Dumbledore was fighting all his life against discrimination, especially against muggles. The fact that he himself belongs to a minority group which is often discriminated against may have helped form this part of his character.

Answer 3

Probably because JK Rowling wanted shock value.

Answer 4

He has never developed a relationship so strong as to actually loving someone other than himself, so it is hard to determine what his sexual orientation is.
