My reaction to JK outing Dumbledore has absolutely no bearing on how I would react in real life. (Actually, I was a bit 'eh' about the news and just moved on. Not that interested in Dumbledore anyway.) The whole OH MY GOD thing is precisely because he is a fictional character. A major fictional character in a children's book, where nothing like this has really happened before, and people have been shipping him with other men for years so it was nice for them to get a confirmation.
Seriously, people who are not part of the fandom shouldn't knock how excited people are over this. Just because it's fiction doesn't equate to "it means nothing".
