Nobody is making that leap. Some people are going straight from "He was 
attracted to (young) Gellert Grindelwald" to there, while *rejecting* 
"he's gay". Accepting one part of an interview answer while discounting 
the other part does seem strange (personally, I think that all her 
interview answers are worth about their weight in gold), but they've 
explained their logic as "DD was in love with Grindelwald" is a 
statement of "fact" (i.e. saying what happened) and "DD is gay" as a 
statement of interpretation of that fact.
