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!
