I reckon Snape secretly fancied him too.
"But I am disappointed that she did not make Dumbledore's sexuality explicit in the Harry Potter book. Making it obvious would have sent a much more powerful message of understanding and acceptance."
What a joke. This guy wanted Dumbledore in leather hotpants or something 😛

Harry Potter is so overrated. This Dumbledore stuff is merely proof that Rowling feels she has to fill in the holes in her literary prowess with sensationalism.
Over-rated...? your opinion only...proof of that fact is how many copies of the books have been sold and the overwhelming clamour that has existed for all things "Harry".
And if it's proof of any other fact, it is that she created and developed her characters fully in her mind to understand their mindset when they reacted and spoke in each scene.
