Contains Spoilers for Book 6 and 7:

Rowling says Dumbledore was gay.
First, the biggest revelation of the night came when Jo revealed to her audience the fact that Albus Dumbledore is gay and had fallen in love with fellow wizard and friend, Gellert Grindelwald. This, by no doubt, elicited the biggest reaction of the evening with many audience members gasping upon hearing the news. So much so, it promoted Jo to say:
"If I had know this would have made you so happy, I would have told you years ago."
She continued, explaining having to slip a note to the director, David Yates, during a script reading of the sixth film, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," when a small reference was made to 'a girl Dumbledore was once attracted to' was in the script. In tune with the activities of many in her fandom, Jo also said this after revelation: "Just imagine the fan fiction now."
Okay, seriously, you guys have no idea how happy this made me. For many reasons, like there's finally a gay, credible character in a children's book...also one that's known to EVERYONE. Also, the gay character was the mentor to the book's hero...and...just...it's fucking DUMBLEDORE MAN! I LOVE HIM!
Now, if only she'd revealed that Remus and Sirius were gay lovers...because they so obviously were.
