So, because I am a college student surrounded by women's studies majors (ie, all of my female friends) and because I was one of those fangirls who were excited to find out that Dumbledore was *gasp* A GAY! I was wondering what other people thought in terms of hints of either Dumbledore's sexuality, or any other queer characters that might appear in the books (Queer being used here as an umbrella term for all LGBTQ characters that might exist in Potterverse). I'm not one for stereotyping, but I'll admit...I have my questions...

I leave it up to you, ladies and gents! What do you think?

Amoebas were not complex. They tore themselves apart and started sex.
