I was wondering if somebody was going to bring this up here.
My own reaction is basically, "So what?" Though, that is most likely because I couldn't care less about what somebody's sexual orientation is, fictional or not.
On the broader scale though... Dumbledore is one of the best loved characters in the series, as well as one of the most central, so kudos to Rowling. It's great she chose to introduce a character like this in a series of kids' books.

Indeed, that was my first thought when I heard about this.
