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

Mus looks back up the list:

As Pippin pointed out in post #178147, Rita did exactly that.  She
tells us via Betty Braithwaite. 

" 'I devote an entire chapter to the whole Potter-Dumbledore
relationship.  It's been called unhealthy, even sinister.  Again, your
readers will have to buy my book for the whole story, but there is no
question that Dumbledore took an unnatural interest in Potter from the
word go.  Whether that was really in the boy's best interests - well,
we'll see.  It's certainly an open secret that Potter has had a most
troubled adolescence.' " [DH, UK hb: 28-9]

"Unhealthy", "sinister", "unnatural".  Those are words which are
routinely used as euphemisms for pederastic behaviour.  

Of *course* homosexuals are not pederasts.  But the slur is one that
tabloid journalism is never very careful to avoid.

Curiously, this passage comes immediately after the one where Rita
drops anvil-sized hints that there is more to the
Grindelwald/Dumbledore dynamic than commonly thought.

Mus, who prefers the term "pederast" because "bibliophile" means what
it does.
