Personally, I agree with you. However, I'm not sure how tolerant JK 
is of homosexuality anyway. She and her lawyers tried to go after 
writers of slash fanfiction a while back, but fanfiction that was 
just as explicit that was het. So she might well see homosexuality 
as being "abnormal", unfortunately.
