I think one of the most amusing things about Sherlock Holmes is that he seems to be infinitely prone to be used for queerbaiting. And my proposed reason for this is that the original stories are so soaked with queer undertones that even the straightest TV writers cannot simply ignore it. So their hands fall to the next closest option- which is making it such a joke it could not POSSIBLY happen. lmao what did you actually think we were for real. Did you really think he'd kiss that dude. Holmes's real punishment for tormenting his author is that, despite it being over 130 years, he still can't be free.
'He was in love with Watson' is truly the Occam's razor answer for MOST of his canon behaviour. As is 'When he said he wasn't attracted to women, that's because he wasn't attracted to women'.
