Was she going to slap you because you never in any way made him gay in the actual books, taking zero risks/doing absolutely nothing for gay characters in literature, and only announcing your “authorial intent” afterwards for a cheap shot at looking like an ~ally~
^^^
Gay people are just normal people. We are not told about any of the Hogwarts professors love lives, other than Snape, and it would be completely out of character for Dumbledore to walk around telling everyone about his sexuality.
Did you want her to make him dress in glittery platform boots, a crop top, and decorate his office in rainbow flags to make it more obvious for you? Would that be enough of a stereotype to appease you people? Or what? Please tell me. I’d like to know how you think a gay character is supposed to be portrayed.
And did you miss the Grindelwald chapters in the ‘actual books’? Or was that also not obvious enough for you? Did Dumbledore need to whisper “always” wistfully in order for you to connect that he had romantic feelings for Grindelwald? Maybe you are American and need them to gaze longingly into each others eyes with awkward close ups of their fingers almost grazing each other that Hollywood thinks means ‘true love’.
It didn’t fit into his relationship to Harry to ever say “I’m gay”, and so it was not stated explicitly (you might have noticed the book was told from Harry Potter’s perspective).
The point is though, that he is a homosexual, well respected, powerful, and very loved wizard- and his sexuality doesn’t matter because no one else thinks it matters. a.k.a. no one cares that he loves men, and that is wonderful.

Reblogging for last commentary because I really appreciate that. It challenges that many of us see hetereosexual as the norm. We really didn’t know about love lives of the professors in the book and yet we know that Rowling still made her characters way more whole than they were portrayed in the books (just check out the extra details in Pottermore (psst. add me: FireboltLight20324). I think Dumbledore being gay does normalize other sexual orientations within the wizarding world. This isnt to say that HP was a perfectly feminist world by any means.

Had I that day alone–
that day to have not
known you, then,
I would’ve rolled
along that old
unobstacled
road-more-like a
wood-beside-the-water
path.
I would have
two-wheel rolled
a– long– with– fre– quent–
bumps, but on the wood
I would have rolled along
without a fall– (ing for-
ward)––– toward the rush
of River Street where I grew
up when I stepped outside
the thick flat ladder crosswalk lines.
I grew when I learned that lines
and motion are what define…
I followed invisible tracks
through Michigan snow,
dragging feet to make lines
to make a new road to make
a new world to do ––– something–––
with my self.
Up and down I grew when
I cycled up River Street and
stopped down by the
wooden river path,
the path right by the river.
I was that day alone
It was that day I learned
I know and
I know
and I know you
and I
not quite.
“It pains me to think that girls are being taught to hate other girls. Society has us pitted against each other and seems to want to keep us from being whole and healthy as individuals and as a group. We should be and need to be celebrated by each other so that we can stand united and fight against injustice toward our gender.” - Sarah McDonald, Why Women Should Hate the Patriarchy Instead of Each Other
