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

afn: Sorry, but this is off the mark. The purpose of sex--even to
mainstream conservatives--is both procreative AND _unitive_.
We could even argue all the assumed heterosexuality of the HP
characters as found throughout canon (and perhaps to the whole WW) is
heteronormative (please realize, I didn't introduce the term here).
Would you prefer using the more pejorative term--which is far from
faux erudition in social science and other legitimate fields--of
heterosexist. Whether intended or not by JKR, the canon WW we have
could also be called heterosexist. Many examples could be offered,
though that seems tedious and getting somewhat far afield.
