I am so happy. There is a gay couple in canon after all.

Pippin:
Who decides whether the canon is closed or not? Even if the
encyclopedia never appears, we're still going to be getting information
from interviews and the website. Post-DH we've had wizard of
the month cards for Dumbledore and Harry, and I think we can
expect them for Ron and Hermione (and Snape too, pretty please!)
I would say the canon of the novels is closed, but the canon of
the Potterverse is still open.

Pippin:

How would it have fit into the story? It would be inappropriate for a
Headmaster to discuss his love affairs with a student, especially one
who was fond of him. After death, as I've said before, it wouldn't
fit into the  concept of  an afterlife  where there is no
carnal love. 

The only place it could fit is in Rita Skeeter's book, but if the
WW is that happy place where there's nothing scandalous about a
monogamous relationship between consenting adults, then she'd
have had nothing to write about. She certainly wouldn't have wanted to
suggest that Dumbledore had fallen in love -- it would have made
him far too human and sympathetic.
