  Quite frankly if it wasn't for Dumbledore's undeniable fashion sense 
I'd be inclined to blame Rowling for pandering but, stereotypical 
trait though it is, that is enough for me to accept that maybe this 
was always her conception of the character.

  Upon reflection I can't say it really changes anything, except 
perhaps to make the brief 'friendship' with Grindelwald more tragic. 
Rowling does seem to be implying that that first disastrous love 
affair pretty much ruined DD's romantic life forever, which granted 
can happen but one would think a hundred and fifteen years would give 
him plenty of time to get over it!

  Frankly I am most annoyed because DD's new sexual orientation rather 
messes up my fanfic, which gives him descendants, but hey - it's AU 
anyways so what the heck?

  I would like to take issue with those who'd like to read 
something 'bad' into DD's relationships with Harry or Tom Riddle or 
even Snape. IMO there is no trace of any sexuality in any of them. I 
see no reason why a Gay man shouldn't have paternal and nurturing 
feelings, do you?
