If sexual preference has no place in the books, then what the hell were Harry and Ginny doing all those times hanging out under the tree? How did Arthur and Molly produce all those children? Why did Tonks' Patronus change? It's probably OK, though, because anyone who views Dumbledore as an unproblematic role model after book 7 clearly isn't reading the books anyway.
(I actually would still consider him a role model, as someone who has acknowledged his own flaws, repented and done his best to repair any damage he's caused, chosen the lesser of evils when there was no wholly good solution, and still mourns the things he couldn't repair. Oh, and managed to overcome the bedazzlement of infatuation to see the real evil in the one he once loved. But none of that is relevant to his sex life, really.)
