I can believe dumbledore was gay. In first book in the mirror of erised when hes like "I see socks" I was 10 and like nigga you aint seein socks.
In the mirror he likely saw his sister and mother alive and well, rather than dead. Mother died by sister's hands, sister died in a duel with Grindelwald/Albus/Aberforth.
But given that JRK retcon'd the series with the Albus/Grindelwald love story, im sure she'd say he saw himself with Grindelwald.
it's funny when you re-read the series and ask "i wonder what JKR would say about this now, vs when the book first came out".
but imagine the response in the 90's & early 2000's if people knew a book was being read by millions of children about an old gay man grooming a young boy and spending ample alone time with him for private lessons. they had a hard enough time with witchcraft lol.
