The issue being that people are always going to have their own interpretation of what is presented to them. Why are there fights about R/HR v. H/Hr? Because people read things different ways.
To be fair, you didn't present all of your characters as stereotypes, and to be perfectly honest, the reaction from Pansy and Draco was more telling of bigotry than your writing was. I can understand that the matter of homosexuality as a choice v. genetic orientation is always going to be contentious (and to be fair, I don't think that people do have a choice in their sexual orientation), but whatever the case is it remains your opinion.
