Dumbledore dressed flamboyantly when he was young and when he was old.

And before the last book came out she said when the series was
complete she looked forward to answering our questions more fully.
When she was writing the books she thought of Dumbledore as gay, are
you saying she should have forever kept that information from us? 

When the movie makers asked JKR to look over the script for movie 6
and it had something about Dumbledore getting hot and heavy over a
pretty girl when he was young, should Rowling have said nothing even
though it was contrary to the character she created? If she told the
movie makers that Dumbledore was gay it was only a matter of time
before the news leaked, JKR chose to announce it in her own way.

The thing about stereotypes is that most of them contain an element of
truth. To pretend that some gay men don't dress much more flamboyantly
than straight men is not being realistic. I'm not making a value
judgment (if someone wants to be flamboyant or gay or both that's
their business not mine), I'm just making an observation.
