He's a very old single man. You have to ask: why is it so interesting?
If that's what it is, why bother? Why make a character gay if it's not going to come up in the books, and why act like you're the ultimate in gay-straight relations when what you've done is actually pretty cowardly, with the "gay men must be asexual to be acceptable" thing, and "well, you couldn't mention it in the books, because there wouldn't be any room for the EIGHT BILLION BILLION BILLION MENTIONS OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO FANCY THE OPPOSITE SEX AND DID I MENTION THAT TWO OTHER OPPOSITE GENDERED PEOPLE GOT TOGETHER NOT THAT THEY WERE RELEVANT TO THE STORY, BUT WHO GIVES A FUCK, TRUE LOVE IS WONDERFUL, BUT GAY SEX IS UNIMPORTANT, THEREFORE WE DO NOT MENTION IT EVER...sorry, I think I had a moment there. Anyway, fuck her.
