Slight misunderstanding here, I think. Cheryl has just said that there's no evidence for gay relationships between these characters within the canon. If that's the case, how can such scenes be "within the boundaries of canon?"
There's no evidence that there are no gay relationships within canon. Therefore depicting gay relationships is not against canon.
