1.) She's a bad writer with no confidence in herself if she didn't believe the message was conveyed in undertones only noticeable to the people that should notice it. It wasn't said explicitly, and it should have been left up to the reader.
2.) The statement was made mere weeks after the final book came out, in her panic for the possible loss of attention she made a hugely controversial statement. Completely unprofessional.

And I thought her revelation was just to make a point about assumptions we make about people's sexuality. I hardly imagine she was starved for attention when she made the statement. Moreover, people were talking about the book, they had information about Dumbledore's past they'd never had before, and it had been just long enough that she could talk about that past without risking spoilers for hardcore fans. Now, if she'd made the statement out of the blue several years after The Deathly Hallows' release after having done nothing else, on the other hand—that would seem like she was just seeking attention.

It's that I don't like reading about him having sex because he's old.
Stop Old People From Having Sex. It's Gross.

The Captain of the Enterprise shouldn't be sleeping with young boys, nevermind forgetting you slipped away to the holodeck!
