"Whether she has romantic feelings towards women or not doesn't make her any less of a person, either morally, mentally, or any other metric one could compare others. Some women only want a man with wealth and power, some only are attracted to a certain physique, a few out there really have a thing for gingers... My point is, an attraction to women is no different. And I think Hermione could use all the  supportive friends she could get right now, because a lot of people are going to say some pretty horrible things about her."
