I think it could have been done in the books

You know what? I agree with this. My previous brain-picky arguments were mostly fueled by the fact that this wasn't done in the books, and I'm a stickler for adhering to established canon. I wasn't thinking about what should have been done at all, but now that you mention it, if he was truly meant to be gay, I think Book 6 would have been the ideal chance to reveal that, because you're right. Dumbledore and Harry really bonded in that book. It sucks that it didn't happen. What a waste.

I guess I just don't see how any of those things are obstacles except insofar as they cause the film to make less money.

There are reputations to consider, harassment, abuse, etc. It's still not a great choice overall, though. I just hate to see JKR get thrown under the bus for something that might not even be fully her choice. LGBTQ+ deserves more/better representation, though. Maybe next time. Hopefully.
