Of course homosexuality existed. No one's questioning that. Sheesh.

Yes, OP just hates when people suggest that characters might be gay together.

The problem is that there IS gay period literature, and if you actually go and read some you'll see what gay characters look like to Victorians, and they don't look one bit like Holmes and Watson. And I think that's exactly what OP is trying to say.
(examples of actually gay Victorian literature: Dorian Gray, the Raffles series, and that gay porn thing subtitled "the reverse of the medal", the actual title of which I can't recall).

Citation needed re: Raffles.

I have no problem with believing Holmes and Watson weren't written as gay - ACD's published thoughts on homosexuality are fairly discouraging, and knowledge of the context is indeed essential.

'HDU pervert our *obviously* purely platonic straight heroes by writing slashfic about them', very not so much. What if? That's what it's about for me. What if they were?

You seem to be projecting negative motivation onto OP.
