What's weird to me is how ahistorical the 'analysis' is -- a man of ACD/Holmes's class would have had limited contact with women of his own class who were not either family or his wife and would have spent his formative years banged up in a boys-only boarding school. If he was single, whether he was gay or straight, his closest emotional ties would surely have been to men. There's no modern equivalent of the relationship between ACD's Holmes and Watson because, in our world, if a man prefers to be with a woman, he can be.

It's a general ignorance of history and historical context, IMO. The Victorian era doesn't seem like ancient history to most people and so much of it has influenced western culture that people don't realize just how utterly foreign some of it is to contemporary society.
