As Dumbledore would say I believe you just did.

Not even remotely? The subplot makes much more sense if Dumbledore is
gay and Grindelwald is more than just a brilliant colleague, it's more
interesting too. And by the way, do you find anything in the books
that says Dumbledore is straight? Didn't you think it strange that a
straight man could live that long and never marry? Didn't you ever
think it odd that a straight man would dress so flamboyantly that even
Harry chuckled at him a few times? The hints were always there.

Yes, even before I saw the capital letters I noticed that.

I on the other hand think Rowling does own your imaginations and she
intends to sneak into your house and perform brain surgery on you and
make you believe Dumbledore is gay. Good heavens people what are so
frightened of? If you want to read JKR's interviews then read them, if
you don't then don't; if you want Dumbledore straight then he's
straight, if you want him gay he's gay.

Insisting? Forcing?  I recognize the words but putting them into the
sentence above makes no sense that I cam make out.
