I'm kind of skeptical how many people believe that Sirius was actually textually canonically gay, and how much of this is actually just hyperbole about the extent to which the text supports a gay reading of Sirius.

And TBH im not even that into the character but talking about the gay reading of Sirius seems approximately one million times more interesting than litigating canonicity

I'm usually skeptical of these claims but I've come across people outside of fandom that I happened to start talking Harry Potter with who ended up saying this, and I'm confused every time. I get how Sirius/Remus is plausible. I don't get how it's practically canon.

I kind of wish people would get off the "canon" wagon all together and just argued for alternative creative reads of work. It's likely a reason for my current policy. The only good ship is a crack ship.

TBH: I suspect one driver for this is wishful thinking and a desire to reward one's favorite author with representation cookies. And I get annoyed at being asked to give millionaires cookies for subtextual ambiguity when authors who write obvious same-sex crushes are asked not to talk about it in book talks.
