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

ouch.  Why would DD's time alone spend with Harry have a shocked face
next to it?  Gay people are not pedophiles.  In fact, most pedophiles
state that they are straight.  Pedophilia has nothing to do with
whether you are gay or not.  

Also, children who are victims of pedophilia do not get trashed in any
newspaper, rag or not.  They are protected.  I could not see even Rita
Skeeter writing a piece like this.  

Even though HP is just a work of fiction, I would have been really
offended if JKR had written that storyline (about pedophilia) in any
of the books and would have probably stopped reading the HP books at
that point & time.  

I could understand that she might be trying to correct the
misinformation about gays, but at this time in our history, when WE
already know that being gay has nothing to do with being a pedophile,
I would not believe it even a worthy topic.

Only fringe groups promote that belief, as well as the belief that
gays are trying to influence children to their lifestyle.  And those
fringe groups are irrevelant to begin with.
