First to reply, yay!!
That I'll never buy. She was put in a position where she was asked if Dumbledore loved someone, and what else could she have said? I really really doubt it was a spur-of-the-moment revelation to her, and that she did it just to promote, what, the Harry Potter series? If there's one franchise that doesn't need extra promotion or publicity, it's Harry Potter.

Also, she admitted Dumbledore being gay as a random throwaway comment on her documentary two years ago, too (when the interviewer asked about Charlie Weasley being gay, and she just sort of shrugged and said no, Dumbledore was). It wasn't a big deal to her, and that segment was shot before the reading she did two years ago. I think fans just want to think she wants to bring about a huge, shocking wow factor to the series, but really? I definitely don't think so.
