Poor JK Rowling, damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. Plenty of artists give their own interpretation of their work as well as disclose what they had in mind when they created the work itself. It IS extraneous to the story that she thought Dumbledore was gay when she wrote about him, so she didn't include it.

She's already inspired millions of kids to read books, leave her alone that she didn't explicitly help gays in the work itself too. Screw the politicial considerations. Or should we force the backgrounds of fictional characters out into the open if those backgrounds serve a hot-button topic? That's total crap.

Furthermore I don't bemoan every missed opportunity in popular fictional works that could further an agenda. Not knowing that Professor Trelawney had an abortion, Professor Snape used aerosol cans on his greasy hair, or that the Malfoys fed Dobby meth in their dungeon neither detracts from the work itself nor means that Rowling should be derided in the decision to leave those things out of it.
