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

JLR once again draws attention to her _finished_ product by adding
unnecessary information and announcing something
(ooooooooooh!) "controversial". It looks to me like JKR is making
these after-the-fact revelations  because she intends to milk that
cash cow for all it's worth. Being twice as rich as the Queen isn't
enough, evidently.

Canon ended with the books, IMO.
