Unless your reading comprehension fails, or mine, I think OP above you meant that characters are straight by canon, and fandom considers them as gay. Which is exactly what you seem to do in the second part of your comment.

What? No. Unless characters go around saying "I'm straight, 100%, never looked at one of my own gender that way" - which you will allow they rarely do - we can't say they are "straight by canon".

They could, if they are shown as liking/sleeping with the opposite sex, be bi and also like their own gender. Case in point being John Watson. They could, if they show no interest in the opposite sex, be gay or asexual. Case in the latter point being Sherlock Holmes.

We don't know, of course, because they are fictional. But to say "you made someone OOC merely because you wrote them as not-100% straight: big old nope.

Oscar Wilde was married with children. So was John Symonds. They also slept with men, quite a lot of them.
