Re: OP here

I also like how she said she was "anti-labellist" about her sexuality

Lara might have said that, but Irene does label herself; she says she's gay. And yes, when she said she was gay, people took it to mean she was gay. Given the context (comparing her to a guy vehemently defending his heterosexuality), it would make sense that that meant, "I've never been in love with a man". That's what John is saying, after all, and she's saying, "Yeah, same here". In fact, if the point is to compare her to John, "I've never been in love with a man" is the only way that line makes any sense. And if she's not being compared to John, what's the point of that exchange?

I guess I just personally don't interpret "gay" as "100% Kinsey-6 homosexual," and I really don't think we were supposed to in this case, if only just because of her chosen profession and the fact that we heard about her sleeping with other men, etc. I thought her point was twofold--"I generally prefer women and also I don't fall in love because sex means something different to me," and yet here she's finding herself drawn to Sherlock, maybe sexually but also emotionally/intellectually, and that's a surprise because she thought she wasn't interested in that. And similarly, Sherlock is the opposite sexually (not into anyone whereas she's into--or at least been with--men & women), but he too thinks he's 'above' having romantic/sexual/emotional feelings for anyone, but he's wrong. That's proven over the course of the series; he says he's "just got one [friend]," but then in TRF Moriarty points out that he does indeed care about Mrs. Hudson and Greg Lestrade too (but he stupidly underestimates Molly, which is how Sherlock ultimately lives...I think). And he thinks he's too superior to fall prey to normal-people emotions and mistakes and everything, but in that "this is just losing" scene he's clearly just as affected as she is. So...yeah, basically I think it's all about sexual fluidity and also about these three characters discovering feelings, of all sorts, that they didn't know they could have. Sorry for the tl;dr. :P I just have a lot of Irene feelings.

I don't always, either, but again, she's specifically being compared to John in this scene.
