Actually, upon reading Deathly Hallows, I got the *distinct* impression that Albus Dumbledore was gay and that he and Elphias Doge had been involved in a long-term relationship (after the breakup of Dumbledore and the other person whose name escapes me - Grendel?). Nothing specific, but that's the way those scenes read to me.
He wasn't the only character that I thought might be/was homosexual, but he was the most prominent. There are quite a few others that are possible.
While any work of art should be questioned, I have to say that I disagree with the OP's conclusion here. This was not a work that specifically excluded homosexuals and/or bisexuals, in my opinion. If you wanted to argue that she should have been more definite about her definitions, that's another story.
