As an old POS this warmed my heart. I've seen enough melancholy endings and "what could have been"s the last two years, the world is definitely becoming a more depressing place. Shame on those saying she got the ending she "didn't deserve". I hope you never make a mistake in your lives.
Kaori was a homophobe for years, including at least one year after Lina confessed to her -- check out her college friend group. She hurt Lina deeply. Yes, she repented it later (and got a better group of friends), I don't hate her, but it wasn't just a single mistake. As I suggested before, the entire point of miracles is that people don't deserve them.
Man, the use of those lyrics leading up to the reunion made for a really beautiful moment. I wish more manga would use popular songs as a narrative device like that.

So you're blaming someone for having internalized homophobia, cool

It is wrong to hurt your closest friend due to unexamined prejudices, correct.

Yes, it's wrong, but she has an explanation for it. It's not like she's one of those people who go out screaming that they hate gay people and even outright attack them for it. She's homophobic because that's what she's used to. Doesn't make it okay, but it doesn't exactly put the blame all on her. Obviously her prejudices would be "unexamined" in a society that generally doesn't see it as normal. Does it make it completely her fault? In my opinion no, and definitely not after she has grown and changed from it.
