look who's alone now
So, apparently, Dumbledore's gay.
I'm not going to believe it. The books have been written, and "set free" as it were, JK Rowling has no control anymore, and if it's not in the book, it's not in the book. The reader can interpret the contents however they wish. Here's some interpretation.
Harry Potter shows pretty much "traditional/conversative" type values.
Firstly, it's a boarding school, and there is no sex, no sneaking into each other domitries, showers etc, and the First Kiss comes in fifth year, and that point it's a Big Deal.
Unlike other boarding schools, there is no excessive alcohol comsumption at Hogwarts. We're not really sure what Butterbeers are, but I'm guessing they can only really be as strong as shandy, (or even the 0.1% of ginger beer). No one comes back from Hogsmeade trollied, there are no alcohol-fuelled initiations into the Quidditch team, and most surprisingly, no one is found collapsed in the toilets during the Yule Ball.
On this theme there is also a distinct lack of the smoking of Class C magical substances out of the domitory windows.
And in the wider world, a lot of childhood sweethearts marry (Harry's Parents, Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione, Mr&Mrs Weasley?, The Malfoys?) , they marry young, have babies straightaway, they stay married - happily, there are no divorces at all, and the people who get married later (Bill and Fleur) get married quickly, and they have babies straight away as well, and Mrs Weasley and Fleur are both stay at home mums.
Dumbledore is single. So is Mcgonagall.
