That depends, are you talking about  straight Iranians or the gay
Iranians? Oh I forgot, according to the president of Iran there are no
gay people in his country.

I never predicted Dumbledore was gay but now that I think about it I
should have because there were hints. For example, Dumbledore never
married. True we are never specifically told that any of the other
teachers had spouses either, but we know much more about Dumbledore
and his back story than that of any other teacher; if he had a wife we
would have heard.

And when I read about his short but very intense "friendship" with the
young and beautiful Grindelwald I should have been suspicious. 

I should have noticed in the very first book that Dumbledore's dress
code was a bit over the top even by wizard standards. Even Lockhart
didn't seem to have as many outrageously colorful robes as Dumbledore
did. In HBP we see a young Dumbledore "drawing many curious glances
due to the flamboyantly cut suit of plum velvet that he was wearing".
Even Harry who had seen many wizard fashions by now was surprised and
couldn't help remarking "Nice suit, sir".
