Dumbledore is gay but celibate. He fell in love with a guy and it blew up in his face and led to the death of his sister, after which he decided not to fall in love again. That makes me suspect Rowling is one of those people that thinks it’s okay to be gay but not okay to act on it.
I kinda feel vindicated now. after the whole “dumbledore is gay” thing, I complained that it was bullshit and made absolutely zero sense.
the whole journey none of it came up once, nor did it progress his character arch at all. it was a bit of fluff that sold books.
it cheapened the struggles of being gay IMO and honestly makes more sense now than it did then considering what kind of a vile troll she is.

I thought it was fine in a “it didn’t come up because it didn’t and shouldn’t have mattered” way.
