Susan:
I am not gay so I cannot say what a gay person feels.  I can tell you 
that my sisters were 8 and 10 years older than I was.  There were 
many of their friends that I thought were cool.  I wanted to spend as 
much time with them as I could.  Why?  Not because I wanted to have 
sex with them but because I wanted to emulate them.  I wanted to 
learn how to act like them.  I did take up the flute like one of 
them.  I also do not have a problem acknowledging that a woman is 
pretty or hot.  Lets face it, there are some really attractive women 
and men out there.  I'd hate to think what the clothing lines and 
makeup industries and sports industries would do if they simply 
relied on the gay/lesbian people to purchase their products.  I do 
think that JKR is a very good writer in that she leaves us just 
enough to put our own individual feelings into her stories.
Just my 2 cents butting in.
