I'm exhausted by the plot where one of the male characters I'm shipping with another male character gets involved with the sister of the other one, and it's something I've seen portrayed in several things I've watched, and this isn't hate towards those female characters; they were great in their own right. But it's so obvious that those characters end up getting romantically involved with those women because they are a female version of that male character, so the writers do that as a way to shut people's mouths because they know in most fandoms people are shipping the two men, and it's such an obvious strategy. This is exactly what happened most recently in “Young Sherlock", but it has happened before in the movie “Hobbs & Shaw", where both Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw are obviously bisexual men attracted to each other. Both actors have superior chemistry, and I'm not denying Luke's attraction to Hattie Shaw because he does like her; I'm just saying that every interaction between the two men has been truly homoerotically charged and even has the opening of their movie a side-by-side of both waking up and their daily routine, which is a montage that is always given to romantic pairings in film/television. Anyway, let's talk about the fact that the same happened in “Sherlock" with that absurd cheating plot line between John Watson and Eurus Holmes, Sherlock's evil secret sister, which in a way she was a version of him, so that was the only way those motherfuckers were going to give us a Watson and a Holmes romantically involved in any capacity, even if it was an emotional affair. That still hurt because John will never do that because he is an honorable man. Now, in the new series “Young Sherlock", that same plot device was used, but this time the ship between James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes was affected by it, when again Sherlock's evil, not-so-dead sister gets involved with Moriarty, which it was a real bummer and a wasted opportunity to be the first adaptation to give us canon gay Sherlock with a bisexual male love interest.
By the way, the only bisexual Sherlock Holmes in my eyes is Robert Downey Jr.'s, and that's simply because of the existence of Rachel McAdams and Jude Law. It's pretty obvious how badly Sherlock is actually attracted to both Irene Adler and Dr. John Watson, also their chemistry was pure fire. Both Irene and John are also bisexual; they were the bisexual holy trinity I wish it ended in a throuple.
Finally, Henry Cavill's Sherlock is also gay, and here is all the evidence you need :
🏳️🌈 I mean, his Sherlock was gay, a homosexual, a man who loved other men. 🏳️🌈
🌈I wish we got a movie for his Sherlock Holmes with him as the lead. Sure, “Enola Holmes” is great and all, but I needed more of Henry Cavill on my screen as that character. I wanted to see him solving more mysteries.
Hero Fiennes Tiffin's Sherlock Holmes is gay;
Dónal Finn's James Moriarty is bisexual.
Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock is gay;
Martin Freeman's Dr. Watson is bisexual.
Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock is bisexual;
Jude Law's Watson is bisexual.
Henry Cavill's Sherlock is gay.
Himesh Patel's Watson is bisexual.
I only included the adaptations that I've seen from top to bottom, and even though I've saw Holmes & Watson, the 2018 comedy, I don't really have an opinion about it because I only saw it once and don't really remember much from it. Also, I never finished “Elementary," but what I got from the seasons I watched is that Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock was bisexual. Anyway, that is my opinion, and at the end of the day, the canon of Sherlock Holmes is as queer as the readings people do of its adaptations.
