I didn't make a blanket statement, I said I had issue using Dumbledore as an example for a gay storyline, since it wasn't, in fact a gay storyline. We only discover he's gay and that his relationship with Gridelwald was more significant after he was dead and after the canonic story ended.
We don't even know if they even has a romantic relationship - Dumbledore may have loved him and the other guy may have not known, not cared or considered it disgusting. We don't know, because JKR didn't actually write the relationship as anything other than a friendship and if it was significant that it was in fact a love affair, why not write it in the book rather than out him after the fact?
Yes her Monogomy is Bestest Thing Evar is clear, with the fact that Snape does what he does out of "love" and not "decency" and the 19 years later epilogue of Saccharine. Yeah, fandom has dealt way better than JKR when it comes to characters development, ethics and over all plot.
