I understand your feelings of betrayal.
She may be feeling a bit homphobic or contrarily, guilty because she felt the relationship was becoming too intimate (for her).
A truly competent therapist might have found a better way to deal with the situation.This is your life and I suggest you control what has happened.
Suggestions:
1)Talk to her supervisor.
2)Discuss the matter with your counselor CALMLY.
3)Write a letter objecting to her assertion and ask for it to be included with the file.
4)Ask to have the note removed.
Or you could try to forget about it. It is important to respect the progress you have made in therapy and to grow from the experience.I know this feels bad but there are many privacy protections in place today. You may want to acquaint yourself with them. A person's opinion is just that and as long as there was no malice intended, then it probably is legal.
Perhaps we should continue this discussion on the psycho/social board?
