I believe it was Tyler Hewitt who said he hoped that any gay 
characters turn out to be from the "good guys" rather than the "bad 
guys" (e.g. Draco), because I agree that a "bad" gay character would 
just enforce some ugly stereotypes. I hope that if JKR has chosen to 
have any gay or bisexual characters, their sexuality will be a 
seamless extension of the personalities we already know (and in 
most cases love), rather than something that appears to be "tacked 
on" or arbitrary. IMO Harry "turning" gay or bisexual "just to annoy 
his worshippers" might qualify for the arbitrary category. Besides, 
people don't "turn" gay or bisexual. They either are, or they aren't.
