Rowling's Heteronormative Law: In any discussion of Rowling's post novels outing of Albus Dumbledore the probability of someone trying to defend her position by asking how she would have done it in the novels, then using some ridiculous example (Dumbledore wearing leather chaps, being photographed at Duckie etc), approaches one.

OK, it needs a bit of work.

She's managed to have a key character be utterly sexless, his homosexuality be hidden to the extent that not even he seems to notice he's gay. I think it'd have been more impressive (and more useful) to have a gay character with whom one might readily identify ie. not apparently nailed into the closet.
