Uh no, that's not the case. First off, you're applying a very weak brand of 21st century logic to Victorian times. In ACD's day, there wouldn't have been "gay and freeloader accusations" because people did not automatically assume that two men living together = TEH GAY. It was very common for men of that class who were single to live with other men. It was cheaper, which is the very logical and canonical reason ACD set out in "A Study in Scarlet".

Secondly, what freeloading? They were sharing the cost of those rooms at Baker Street. Watson had a pension, and when he physically recovered enough, he worked as a doctor. How did you miss that?
