I am a little confused as to why someone is thinking that these 
characters are gay anyway.  I mean they could be but what gives them 
the clues.  I've read somewhere, not sure which post, that Lupin is 
feminine and doesn't stand up to his buddies. Also, someone posted 
that Lupin and Sirius gave a together Christmas gift and Lupin lives 
with Sirius.  Well, seeing that Lupin is poor and doesn't have a job 
maybe Sirius didn't want him to feel bad about it and put his name on 
Harry's gift.  I know I've done this before with family members.  
Also, why would Sirius refuse letting Lupin stay with him.  I mean 
why not?  

Another thing, just because a man is feminine doesn't mean he is 
gay.  We can not assume he is gay just because of his 
characteristics.  It we do "label" him as gay because of how he is, 
then we must take notice of certain other teachers who must 
definitely be gay.  If were are going by this criteria then we must 
assume that Prof. Grubbly-Plank is gay and also Madam Hooch.  Grubbly-
Plank acts very manly, smoking a cigar and wearing her hair very 
short. 

If we are going by the fact that they do not have significant others 
then we must assume that most of the staff is gay.  Dumbledore is 150 
years old and do we know him to have a wife?  No, he must be gay 
then.  And definitely Filch.

All I am saying is we can not judge then by certain characteristics.  
And if they are gay, big deal. It's not important to the story anyway.

Sincerely, Diana
