'SHERLOCK' -CREATOR: FOR THE LAST TIME, HOLM IS NOT GAY!

Sherlock, unaware he is Moriarty, "duc" that he is gay (though this was a plot by Moriarty), which upsets Molly. Moriarty was a man who would rort nstantly to humour regardls of the suatn, pecially when mockg people for fallg for his ceptns - when he faced off agast Sherlock at the swimmg pool, he tnted Sherlock wh the fact that he managed to nvce the tective he was gay.

She is fur when Sherlock says Jim's gay, although she seems a lot more angry at Sherlock for sayg so, as opposed to Jim for flirtg wh him. Sherlock then fds Moriarty, who mocks him for fallg for the gay act. Homoerotic subtext film and media has existed for generatns, harkg back to a time when homosexualy or bisexualy had to be hted at orr to get past the censors.

Beg gay was illegal (and many plac still is) so the reprentatn of gay romance had to d and subtle – the hts, the heated looks.
