Canon, please?  Where the hell is there evidence in the series that 
Harry is ATTRACTED to other boys?  I know I am not a stupid person but 
I must be if I am missing something as big as this.  JKR has given us 
ample evidence that girls turn Harry on, including the Veela (good 
point, btw for the one who mentioned that) and Cho.  Just because 
Harry didn't handle things with her very well doesn't make him gay.  
In fact, that's not a very nice thing to say about gay men.  Most of 
the gay men I know are quite fine people.

Harry and Cho should never have happened.  That is clear and JKR made 
the point and drove it home.  Neither of them handled their situation 
with maturity or respect for the other.  I can't chalk that up to 
sexuality, but simply to teenage behavior, which often sucks.  I was 
blown off by plenty of boys when I was a teen and as far as I know, 
none of them are gay now.

This is ridiculous.
