Mart Freeman reveals Sherlock viewers felt ‘betrayed’ his character John Watson and Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holm weren’t gay. * sherlock not gay *
I am beyond for gay rights, and I do support gay reprentatn media. Moffatt me out and explaed that his terpretatn of Holm, expertly played by Benedict Cumberbatch, is neher gay nor straight. He’s not gay.
Why do people thk Sherlock is gay? Perhaps 's jt a very vol mory, but seems a large number of people believe he's gay. I n’t believe they didn’t make them gay.
Watson -- wh other characters nstantly assumg they were a uple -- and the homoerotic unrton their relatnship were so strong they spawned an entire Sherlock end 2017, fans hopg might fally make good on years of subtext were disappoted, and Freeman revealed a recent terview that he's aware the show let them down. "So by the time we filmed the last on, there were some fans who were so adamant that John and Sherlock were gay, " Freeman told Brish Rad 4. The trouble is as soon as you start gettg to a dialogue about that, sounds like you're somehow beg homophobic.
SHERLOCK IS ‘NOT GAY, BUT NOT STRAIGHT EHER’ ACRDG TO STEVEN MOFFAT
They sound pretty tired of the speculatn, followg a Comic-Con panel where Moffat spoke general terms about wrg gay characters on mastream TV—which some fans then misterpreted as a veiled ht about Sherlock. “It is furiatg ankly, to be talkg about a ser subject and to have Twter n around and say, ‘Oh that means Sherlock is gay, '” said Moffat. I’m a gay man.
Dependg on who you ask, this is eher a harmls joke, a tratg and potentially homophobic example of queerbag, or proof that the Johnlock Conspiracy is real. The end rult is a show that arguably clus gay subtext, wh an dience that lov to vise plex fan theori, and shownners whose terview quot n’t be tsted.

In a chat wh Lren Laverne on the latt of Rad 4’s Dert Island Discs, the actor explaed fans felt let down the two characters didn’t e out as homosexual.
‘So by the time we filmed the last on there were some fans who were so adamant that John and Sherlock were gay, they knew and they knew that Steven (Moffat) and Mark (Gatiss) were gog to wre an episo where we held hands off to the sunset together, and so when that didn’t happen there was a chunk pf people gog, “This is betrayal”. ‘But everyone wants to believe he’s gay. A sequel to Christmas h Sherlock Holm may be blocked by thor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tate after Robert Downey Jr., the star of the film, suggted the inic tective might be gay (watch Downey Jr talk about Holm' gay subtext on Letterman).

"I am not hostile to homosexuals, " she said, "but I am to anyone who is not te to the spir of the books. " Are we really likely to see a gay Sherlock Holm? Downey's ment was a "lgh at the expense of prient attus to gay sex, " and not a "ser" suggtn.
To do so would be agast the vtigative spir of the books—"not jt homophobic, but Holmophobic.
"But Holm shouldn't be gay: There's nothg wrong wh Downey's playg the "gusg game, " says Elisabeth Rappe at Cematil. "Holm isn't gay—but he is sexualized: The first film don't really suggt Holm is gay, says Vlet Blue the San Francis Chronicle.
