I think there are lines even JKR won't cross in her books. After
all, even if we don't consider them children's books anymore, they
are read by children and even if she thought it ok to introduce
homosexuality issues to minors, I doubt her publishers would agree.
Besides, I think the plot itself is complicated enough for young
readers and hopefully the House Elf issue will make them think, so
homosexuality would just confuse them.
In any case, I think you're being too picky. The only people who are
overtly anything are married couples and teens on hormone highs; or
rather teens whose hormone highs we get to see.
