It is, but the reason you can see it is because the trans flag emoji,Just noticed that the tranny symbol in the front page feature isn't an in line image but rather the autistic troons in tech have made it into a unicode symbol. it's been there since 2005/Unicode 4.1 ️ God help us all. Also I've just noticed that the top left arrow is for "man who had his dick cut off." hence the slash through the arrow.

The only other ones that work like this are the rainbow flag
Also those merge symbols went viral because someone used them to make an anti-LGBT symbol
I hate to disagree with this excellent post but Section 28 only applied to local authorities, forbidding them from promoting homosexuality to children or the "acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". As this was never clearly defined the response was for local authorities to just refuse to talk about homosexuality to children, which obviously included all state schools.I can't believe I'm discussing Dumbledore being gay in Current Year, but fuck it. I think one thing about this "retcon" in particular is that it gets unfairly lumped in with all the other stupid additions Rowling made to HP canon over the years, but this is actually just as much of a revision of history as troons now trying to rewrite her past as sexist/racist/etc in light of her transphobia. The Dumbledore-being-gay revelation is not part of Rowling's woke twitter retcons, it just got lumped into them in retrospect. This particular tidbit got added to canon in 2007, only 3 months after the last book was released and before the last few movies were. It absolutely was part of canon - it's normal for authors to have detailed backstories about certain characters that never make it into the books, and the Dumbledore revelation was part of a larger set of background details about various characters that she talked about at fan conventions in an effort to promote the 7th book. So this wasn't woke pandering, "woke" was in its infancy in 2007. To put it into perspective, California of all places banned gay marriage a year later. It was just a very different cultural time.
Another thing to keep in mind is Section 28. Section 28 was a UK law that essentially forbade the positive portrayal of gay characters in children's media. This law was only repealed in 2003 - and Harry Potter started being published 1997. That's right, when Rowling started writing the series, her publisher would not have allowed her to make Dumbledore openly gay. Which isn't to say people didn't write gay characters under section 28. They did, and they used some recognizable tropes to signal a character's homosexuality in the subtext. And Rowling was signaling hard with Dumbledore - older man, never married, no children despite being good with children, flamboyant clothing and personality, and an extremely close "friendship" with another man who's also a confirmed bachelor.
It largely happened because a school in London had bought a copy of this book:
("Jenny Lives With Eric And Martin") and put it in a school library. I've actually seen a copy of the book and it's basically a picture book for little kids, wherein Jenny goes to the laundrette with Daddy and Eric, Mummy (divorced but amicable) and Daddy plan a surprise birthday party for Eric, and then a nasty lady says something mean to Daddy and Eric and they have to explain to Jenny that sometimes people don't like people like Daddy and Eric:
and although the book is pretty harmless, it was made by the Danes so there's some pictures that are a bit jarring (they're basically of Jenny in bed with the two dads and the dads are in their underwear). The whole thing got labelled homosexual propaganda and lead to Thatcher criticising the belief that anyone should think they have an "inalienable right to be gay"
