Actor Jamie Campbell Bower attended the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party back in July, and was interviewed about his future projects, including Deathly Hallows and New Moon.
Jamie noted specifically that although Dumbledore had been outed as gay by J.K. Rowling two years ago, there will be no reference of the late headmaster's feelings for his character, Grindelwald, in the films. He said that there may be subtext, but it is not implicit in the actual movies. The video can be watched below.
I don't care if they say anything about Dumbledore being gay; who cares, except for those who get easily offended. It's JK's character and that's how she made Dumbledore.
As to Campbell-Bower, he and Robert Pattinson are the only ones who've starred in both HP and the Twilight movies; both huge mega blockbusters. Just an interesting bit of information.
That I'll never buy. She was put in a position where she was asked if Dumbledore loved someone, and what else could she have said? I really really doubt it was a spur-of-the-moment revelation to her, and that she did it just to promote, what, the Harry Potter series? If there's one franchise that doesn't need extra promotion or publicity, it's Harry Potter.
Also, she admitted Dumbledore being gay as a random throwaway comment on her documentary two years ago, too (when the interviewer asked about Charlie Weasley being gay, and she just sort of shrugged and said no, Dumbledore was). It wasn't a big deal to her, and that segment was shot before the reading she did two years ago. I think fans just want to think she wants to bring about a huge, shocking wow factor to the series, but really? I definitely don't think so.
Not to mention, she outed Dumbledore when the Half-Blood Prince script was in the process of being written. That was also years ago now.

due to my religious views many of my friends and myself would not see the movie if they included it. Including it would not gain the movie any viewers, and personally I believe it would subtract from it.
Can we leave out intolerant remarks such as this? Nobody needs to know how you feel about the LGBT community.
