I think she's just been reading too much fanfiction.
But srsly, since the series has ended, she has publicly shared some more information about the pasts/futures of certain characters, so to me this doesn't seem like anything other than that. IMO, she should have put gay Dumbledore in the books, or at least made it a bit more apparent. I don't think she just decided all of a sudden to say he was gay, to win fans or whatever (as if she needs to, and anyway, judging from people's reactions she is losing more fans than she's winning). Anyway, with many of the other male characters in the books, she has mentioned things in the series that lead you to believe that the characters are straight, or at least, not gay. I find it hard to believe that she accidentally never did the same for Dumbledore, and then because of that just decided she would make him gay after the fact. People are always accusing her of just making up this stuff as she goes along, and pulling things out of left field, but most of those people haven't even read the books. They'll see a movie and think they know what's up. And where the hell is Alex's Trip when I need him, I'm sure the both of us could write our own novels on the homoerotic tendencies of the Harry Potter books.
