NAYRT

When the 6th and 7th books were coming out, JKR was one of the most popular, widely-read, and powerful authors in the world. The idea that her editors could stop her from including a detail completely lacks plausibility. Nor would JKR have been the first YA author to include gay characters (by a long shot).

I'm not even trying to address the question of whether she ought or ought not have made Dumbledore textually gay, or what was in her mind when she wrote the books, or any of that. But I find these arguments that it would have been impossible or really difficult for her to do so very much not compelling.
