This may sound very self-aggrandizing, but there's a tremendous amount of idiocy going on all over the Internet today, and I've just spent the last two hours writing a piece to deal with it.
Briefly: I think it enriches the series. But if you don't agree, it's entirely your prerogative to read Harry Potter as if Rowling had never said a thing about sexual orientation. And I'm going to stand by that when it comes to any remark any author makes about his or her own books.

I think it's all a bit... frivolous and silly.
I mean... come on, what's the big deal? His sexuality has absolutely zero effect on the book at all. Of course on the other hand that does make Dumbledor the coolest gay character EVER, but he's pretty kickass no matter what orientation he is . |

It may or may not be a fraud on her part. Well fraud is pretty strong, afterall it is her series. My point is that she may not have written the books with Dumbledore being gay, but she now feels obliged -or whatever- to have a major character be gay.
