Skipping the whole pedophile/teenageboyophile (whatever it's called)  
bit--which I find
completely nonsensical, as I see not a shred of evidence in canon that  
Dumbledore's
leniency with certain students is anything other than mere  fondness of an 
adult for a 
child under his guidance--a lot of posters are arguing that there was never  
any canon
that supported Dumbledore being gay. My question to those who protest based  
on this
argument is...Please state the canon that supported Dumbledore being  
straight.
 
Seriously, I want to know. And I honestly don't consider "no  evidence that 
he's gay must
mean he's straight" a reasonable argument. Some percentage of any  population 
is gay
(don't recall the actual number, maybe 10 percent?), so *some* students or  
teachers
at Hogwarts can be presumed to be gay, even though we don't see  direct 
evidence of the
sexual orientation for 95% of the students (nor for any of the  teachers 
except Lupin and 
Snape). So what actual canon gives  us evidence of Dumbledore's sexual 
orientation?
