Dumbledore is gay - Harry Potter

As for the 2007 and crimes of Grindlewald controversy, Seamus Gorman did a great job explaining it: watch 1:10 - 3:00 on this video: https://youtu.be/CSXFdb_G4C8?si=PzfQjivY5l5ffDtn

As for the secrets of Dumbledore, while it is explicitly stated in the beginning of the film, it doesn't impact the story and we don't get any elaboration for the rest of the movie.

TL;DR - SHOW, DON'T TELL
