Were sales slipping? Why bother mentioning that now, when no further Harry Potter books are coming out, and Dumbledore is dead? His sexuality is now moot. Did she feel an overwhelming desire to push the buttons of religious fundamentalists?

I wonder when it was decided to make Dumbledore gay?

Well, no more Harry Potter books are coming out is what I remember hearing.  Does this mean that there won't ever be any more books set in that universe?  I find that pretty unlikely given how popular the series is.

 ::)

She decided it when she started working on book 6. She didn't hold a press conference to let people know, she just had to change some things in the draft for the 6th movie screenplay that made people ask her specifically about it. She was able to tell now because the books are done. She didn't bring it up before because it would've distracted from the story she wanted to tell.

Dumbledore being gay makes this a lot closer to canon.

Oh, and nothing in fandom is moot until the last fan dies.

True, plus the one other big question is: So what if he is gay? Does that make him any less the professor that we knew? No. so personally I don't see what the big deal is.
