To be honest, her making characters gay in retrospect has never sat right with me, along with all the stuff she's said since about Hogwarts being LGBT friendly. Felt to me like she was trying to make the books more diverse than they actually were after the fact.

She's also tweeted that gay or lesbian kids are being coerced into becoming transgender so that they’ll become straight boys and girls. So yeah, she cares about gay people enough to stop them from unwittingly being tricked by homophobes and evil trans rights activists into becoming transgender, because that's the real reason trans people exist. I think if you use one marginalised group (that you aren't part of) as an emotive weapon to harm another marginalised group, you damage them both - and you deserve the respect of neither.
