There are 7 hints that Albus Dumbledore was gay

Few weeks ago, I mentionedAlbus Dumbledore was outed by the author JK Rowling. There's the following-up to the Albus Dumbledore news.

Did you know that "Albus Dumbledore" is an anagram of "Male bods rule, bud"? I didn't. But according to Andrew Slack, head of the Harry Potter Alliance, an organisation "dedicated to using the examples of Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore to spread love and fight the Dark Arts in the real world".

Of course, gay activists celebrated the Albus news; and as expected, some conservative Christians wanted the Harry Potter books banned.

In chapter 26, Dumbledore says to Harry: "Take off your invisibility cloak - there is no need for it now - and let us take the plunge."

It continues: "And with the sudden agility of a much younger man, Dumbledore slid from the boulder, landed in the sea, and began to swim with perfect breaststroke toward the dark slit in the rock face ... 'This is merely the antechamber, the entrance hall,' said Dumbledore after a moment or two. 'We need to penetrate the inner place."'

Before the outing, those words were just a bit odd.
