Reply #19: but who's to say that's what she was doing?

I just mean, she very well could have meant for him to be gay from the beginning, as she had detailed notes on the various characters and their relationships between each other, even though not all of that came out (no pun intended) in the books. She was asked a question, and she answered it, and said that it explains some of the ways Dumbledore interacted with Grimwald (or whatever his name was), if I am not mistaken.

Actually, I really admire the fact that she has a well-respected gay character who is just a plain human. Well, other than being a wizard. I mean, she did not ever make an issue out of it in the sense that he is not stereotypically gay the way most mainstream shows and stories do, such as Will & Grace.

Not sure if I said that right. I am kinda sleepy today. I guess on the other hand it could be argued that Dumbledore got to where he was because he was in the closet. Damn it. I had not thought of that side of it. I don't know.
