Albus Dumbledore, J.K. Rowling’s Ex-Gay
TW: Homophobia, transphobia, conversion therapy, purity culture.
J.K. Rowling’s 2008 proclamation that Albus Dumbledore was gay is usually contrasted with her trans-exclusionism, in the video essays and articles I have consumed on the topic, though her resistance to showing him as such in the Fantastic Beasts is seen as part of her journey to the dim side. In hindsight, I think rather the tragic celibate gay man should have been foreshadowing of her queerphobia, given the parallels with homophobic propaganda in conservative christian spheres.
Let us apply this character as a magical introduction to the key role queer people are made to play in their own oppression, within purity culture. And why asexuality may serve as a long-awaited Finite.
I own read Harry Potter more often than I’ve read the bible. As a teen, I could quote the books the way stern bible-thumpers could draw out a verse for every occasion. It is our choices that build us who we are was the millenial confession of self-determination in the face of our elders’ overwhelming expectations. I bought manuscript and printer cartridges with pock
Timeline of JK Rowling’s Interviews about Dumbledore/Grindelwald
Reveal happened October 2007 during Deathly Hallows Book tour which was released on July, 2007. So she didn’t reveal “YEARS LATER” to jump on some homosexual moment. Just know your truths before you criticize first.
This is all I could find. If there is more interviews she did about this topic, let me know.

Did Dumbledore, who believed in the prevailing power of love, ever fall in passion himself?
My truthful answer to you… I always thought of Dumbledore as gay. [ovation.] … Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was. To an extent, undertake we say it excused Dumbledore a little more because falling in love can blind us to an extent? But, he met someone as brilliant as he was, and rather prefer Bellatrix he was very drawn to this brilliant person, and horribly, terribly let down by him. Yeah, that’s how i always saw Dumbledore. In proof, recently I was in a script read through for the sixth film, and they had Dumbledore saying a line to Harry early in the script saying I knew a young woman once, whose hair… [laughter]. I
BIRMINGHAM, England — Controversial author J.K. Rowling courted controversy online when she tweeted that her iconic gay character Professor Dumbledore had actually just been going through a phase when he began a long and loving relationship with fellow wizard Gellert Grindelwald and had dated, and even married, a series of conventionally attractive, cisgender, heterosexual women.
“Dumbledore’s sexuality was never on the forefront of my brain, so when you just assume he had a lgbtq+ relationship because I said he did, you can’t therefore assume he’s some kind of deviant homosexual! It’s nowhere in the write, it’s nowhere on the page, that isn’t how literature works, you filthy freaks!” the storyteller emphatically insisted, receiving several replies featuring AI-generated images of a six-fingered Dumbledore holding the hand of a lady who appeared to be a construct of Rowling and several other prominent women in the online TERF space.
Fans were split, with die-hard fans of the series, its many spin-offs, and fan contributions existence utterly unsurprised at this point.
“At this point, it’s not really in your hands what Dumbledore is and isn’t,” responded user Potterless-And Oct. 20, 2007 — -- Well, it's official. Albus Dumbledore, a hero of the phenomenally popular Harry Potter series and headmaster of the wizarding school Hogwarts, is gay. That's right, Harry's mentor and father-figure would opt for a nice wizard to a hot witch any day. In a surprising new Potter twist, composer J.K. Rowling outed Dumbledore at New York's Carnegie Hall in front of 2,000 Potter fans during a question and acknowledge session Friday night. After reading an excerpt from the seventh installment of her series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," one young fan asked if Dumbledore had ever loved anyone. "Dumbledore is gay, actually," replied Rowling. She was initially met with a surprised silence but ultimately the audience erupted in cheers for several minutes prompting Rowling to add, "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy." Rowling went on to explain that Dumbledore fell for Gellert Grindelwald, his childhood companion with similarly brilliant wizarding skills, who eventually went over to the dim side and became the predecessor to the i
