  So, I suggest...don't get hysterical about the idea that Remus and 
  Sirius might have been lovers..if you do, you are saying that being 
  gay is bad, and therefore you are a bigot....

  There's a distinct possibility there were lovers...

  There's also a clear possibility that they were dear friends and 
  loved each other and were not sexual in the expression of their love. <snip>


     Susan this is a brillant and sensitive letter. I could not agree more. Rowland definitly portrayed deep affection between the two, how that may have been expressed is left to the reader. I agree in the movie the director definitly gave a subtext that Lupin, at least, was gay.

    Rowland may not ever clarify the exact relationship in the books, nor does she need to, it is Harry's story after all.  The effect on him of the example of loyality and love is what is important. How he understands the relationship may change as he matures, but he will always remember love.
