so long, he has no concept of what he really likes...Percy could 
certainly be gay, he's so uppity that he comes across as being rather

The Sergeant Majorette says

That's the spirit! Maybe the 'closet' metaphor for Harry is 
deliberate. The most compelling reason I see for Gay!Harry is the 
fact that there are no female characters as detached as he is. (Luna 
isn't detached. She deals quite comfortably with the world. She's 
just consciously odd.) Really, the only character who is a 
psychologically parallel match for Harry is Draco, and I don't think 
anybody on any forum objects to the concept of Draco being gay. My 
controversial opinion is that boys can be sissies and girls can be 
tomboys, but that actual sexuality cannot be determined until one 
meets one's soulmate. Then, if that person is of the same gender, 
then one may call oneself homosexual.

By that definition, Percy is just a priss. He'd be a perfectly happy 
heterosexual with a wife like Aunt Petunia. Justin F-F: gay. The 
Lockheart thing *is* a dead giveaway. The Creevey brothers are just 
creepy.
