I don't think they will portray him as gay... since homosexuality is still a big issue in some countries... it might hurt the movie in one way or the other...other than that... there was very little indication that he was gay in the books so i think there will be no indication of that in the coming films...
I also think it will be difficult to portray him as gay...

Actually there was some indication in the books. I personally had always thought to myself that he was indeed gay. He dressed flamboyantly and was very progressive, and there were hints in his relationship with Grindelwald as well.

there is no point in portraying Dumbledore as gay in the movies. personally i think Rowling piped up with that statement cause the Harry Potter craze was dieing down a bit.
while being gay would affect Dubledores story..the movies are pointed at Harry's story..and Dumbledore being gay doesnt have anything to do with the current circumstances that harry is going thru (movie wise at least)

Well that is a thought! anyway i guess they won't.... gay issues are still very sensitive subject in most countries. The books did not make a direct allusion as well. So i think they will keep it away. In fact i read they wanted to show in Half Blood Prince that Dumbledore was interested in a girl and that's when JK had to pass a note saying he is gay. And that snow balled into the 'outing' that happened and all the debates there after!

I hope not. Dumbledore did not seem gay in the books and i hope he isnt gay in the movies. I hate to think of him as gay!

I think they will keep it out so it won't get an R rating (it's stupid they do that).
