Honestly, I highly doubt Rowlings meant him to be gay from the get-go. The fact that it was only announced after the last book was published and that it is in no way a part of his characterization in any of the works screams "publicity stunt" to me. So what I'm saying is that he's gay-for-pay. Reread Deathly Hollows with the knowledge that Dumbledore is gay and his relationship with Grindelwald makes a lot more sense. According to Rowling, it pretty much soured Dumbledore on romance afterwards and he lived an essentially chaste life afterwards. Given everything that happened with him, I can't really say I'd blame him.
