I don't think she feels that way either. Considering when the final books were published, it makes sense that she would be more aware of the negativity a gay character would bring her than the potential positive impact it would have on queer people. She wrote the last two books during the middle of the 00s; even so short a time before, the climate was not the same as right now. From an authorial pov, she probably came up with the idea of Dumbledore being gay as a natural progression of his character, but as an author she chose not to include it because she didn't think it was relevant information AND/OR, once again, only knew the negative consequences of having a gay character, but it still meant enough to her to mention it when a relevant question was asked.

She was never really a queer ally; she wrote a character. People are condemning her as if she had proclaimed herself as an ally all along when she never did.
