I think it's good to have a diverse f'list :) Though I'm pretty sure mine is more at the LPBP end of the spectrum...
I first saw this news on a HUGE comm of celeb gossip, that I surfed to somehow, and there were several people on the comments who seemed miffed/upset/angry about it. Which (given I hang out almost exclusively in slash comms) shocked the heck out of me.
I don't think I'd considered D's sexuality before book seven at all, but it was pretty clear to me that he was in love with, and not just in a man-crush sort of way, G in book seven. It's not irrelevant. No more so than that Harry's not in love with Hermione but Ron is. Granted, without book 7 it wouldn't really be relevant, no more so than knowing who Madame Hooch was dating. But we had all that Dumbledore back story, and it is important. His feelings for and about G play a huge part in the decisions he made and the actions he took. Pretending it was something other than it was would be lying and stupid.
