Dumbledore Could Be Openly Gay in ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequel, J.K. Rowling Says (With Johnny Depp)
Variety ^ | November 10, 2016 | Ramin Setoodeh

Fans hoping to get a glimpse of a young Albus Dumbledore will need to wait for the second movie, part of a five-part prequel series planned by Warner Bros. But although the older Dumbledore never revealed his sexual orientation in the books or films — it was the author herself who coaxed him out of the closet during a 2007 interview at Carnegie Hall — the younger incarnation of the character might be less private. “Well, I’m very comfortable with the question,” Rowling said to reporters when asked about a gay Dumbledore. “I would like to say because this is obviously a five-part story, there’s lots to unpack in that relationship.”

“You will see Dumbledore as a younger man and quite a troubled man,” Rowling added. “We’ll see him at that formative period of his life. As far as his sexuality is concerned,” she said taking a beat, “watch this space.”

“Gay Sulu in the recent “Star Trek Beyond” did nothing for the bottom line. Audiences (and teen boys) stayed away in droves.”

There was a time about 15 - 20 years ago where publishers of fiction, fantasy and sci fi had to gratuitously shoehorn that crap into their series. Every single time their series and sales slammed into a wall. Normal people don’t want to read about in your face perversion of any type.

It had a Christ allegory component as well.

Pretty telegraphed as well.

The Abrams Star Trek movies are simply lame stories that essentially are the worst kind of cheating in Star Trek. Okay, it is before The Next Generation, and they can just use a laptop-sized device to beam themselves light years away faster than a starship can take them there (Star Trek: Into Darkness) and for some reason, they can teleport through deflector shields. The Star Trek movies simply were a lame pile of bad storytelling from people who do not get Star Trek, no amount of politically correct pandering was going to save them.

Harry Potter? I grew out of that stuff being a teenager I believe when they got started with it, I moved on past that anyways, it is for someone else by this point. I had to take my little sisters to see the last movie, and I was satisfied with that ending to it.

Is his troubled youth due to being molested by a older relaive or family “friend” causing him to be sexually confused?

Pretty much-- the repressed magically-confused youngster in the movie is mentored by Johnny Depp's gay character (Here played by Colin Farrel under the influence of a shape-changing potion. They are pretty touchy-feely and uncomfortable in the movie.

No.

Potter died and came back to life. All this happened at King’s Cross.

Rowling acknowledged this. She is a liberal Christian.

Secondary characters are caricatures. This is a necessity as we only have limited exposure to them unless they are the main character. (Gay main characters with only two exceptions I can think of, “La Cage aux Folles” and “Brokeback Mountain,” kill movies.)

Because screen time is limited you need to “show” what that character is by making him do something that says to the reader, this guy is bad, or this guy is gay. You might have a character cuddle a puppy when somebody is watching him, but kick it when they can’t see him. He’s a bad guy. I mention this because the actions you would have a gay character take to indicate he is gay will not be much appreciated by the pro-gay crowd. They will say he was two dimensional and stereotyped gayness. (Duh.)

But it will be “normal” to all the little children who grow up seeing this weekly and it will cause gender confusion.

That is their point-—to corrupt the children. What they see becomes “good” and the evil Marxists who are trying to make sex meaningless to destroy marriage and the Natural Family, they have to get the young children which they have in “publik skools anyhow...so they can make the kids so dumb and ignorant they will believe Boys can be Girls and Vice is Virtue and Up is Down.

Google Fichte—and his wisdom in destroying the Free Will in children, so they will be incapable of “thinking” for themselves......his “Snow is Black” quote.
