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.
I totally agree with you. If Dumbledore was a gay just because he did not love anyone, so what about the others: McGonagal, Charlie, Slughorn...?
I think he was single because he spent all of his time to find a way to destroy evil and expiated his sin in the past.
