I guess it's the frustration at the overall lack of gay characters which wells over. Why aren't there any? And if there were, what would they look like? All we have is Dumbledore and I-forget-his-name (who were apparently in love) and had a very very close friendship... How would a gay love story about young boys look (in its beginning), except as a very close friendship?

It's not to say that they need to be gay (I've not read it, I don't know any specifics and can't make a personal judgement), but why shouldn't they be? Maybe she was worried that her story would be overshadowed by 'OMG THEY'RE GAY!!!' But why not add some other gay characters?

I thought it was an interesting article, and a different spin than the usual Tumblr posts criticising Harry's parenting etc.
