I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this, but I wonder if a clue
to Dumbledore's homosexuality could have been his quest for
immortality. Having once faced the prospect of never having children,
as many gay people still do, I did think of ways in which I could
pass what I lived on into the future. If I had had access to magic
that could have made me immortal, I would have been interested.
Dumbledore was interested in the immortality that his friend Nicolas
Flammel had achieved, and he was spend a lot of time on the deathly
hallows. He never spoke of wanting to create a dynasty.
By the way, I don't think Voldemort's quest for immortality was a
result of being gay. According to Dumbledore, Voldemort was simply
self-contained, and had no interest in closeness with anyone else,
even with heaving-breasts Bellatrix. (This might be a good topic of
discussion if someone wants it: Could Voldy and Bellatrix have been
lovers? I suppose there are lots of ships out there about that one.
And, also, can anyone tell me what happened to Bellatrix'es husband?
When I did have the books with me I couldn't find the answer.)
-Thanks!
