Well if people keep insisting a straight man is gay....it is an understandable, not the best reaction, but an understandable reaction to say "I'm not gay"

[(Anonymous)]

Or they could just... not have people insist he is gay? It's a situation engineered by the writers to facilitate a (cheap) joke. It's not like the character is real.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh maybe. Occasional jokes like the whole "if you'll need two bedrooms" wasn't too bad because that'd be applied to opposite genders too.

I will admit the whole "you're gay, John aren't you," "no I'm not" does tire easily but perhaps it went down well the first time and became, rightly or wrongly, a recurring joke

[(Anonymous)]

IIRC it's only Mrs. Hudson making the assumptions, though. To me it gave off more of the "silly old lady stuck in her opinions" feel than a "haha let's make everyone assume they're gay all the time lulz" thing that other shows (*cough*spn*cough*) have going on. If multiple characters were doing it, that would be one thing, but when it's just the one character restating it, it makes sense that John would get fed up.

That said, yes, it was obviously written in as a cheap joke. But I think people are blowing it way out of proportion, since I'm pretty sure the only other time it was mentioned in canon was the very first episode of the series. (Though I could be wrong, I don't pay that much attention)

[(Anonymous)]

It happened three times in the first episode:
Mrs Hudson - "will you be needing two bedrooms?"
Angelo - "on the house for you and your date/i'll get a candle it's more romantic"
and Mycroft - "might we be expecting a happy announcement by the end of the week? (though that one's more forgivable because he was obviously just trying to piss John off.)

Then Sally in The Great Game: "You're still with him? Well opposites attract I suppose"

Irene made at least a couple of comments. The one in the warehouse and 'someone loves you I'd avoid your nose and teeth too" and possibly more, I can't remember.

Then the inkeepers in Hounds - "is yours a snorer?"

Louise Mortimer, after whateverhisnamewas called John Sherlock's 'live-in PA' said something like "why don't you buy him a drink? I think he likes you?"

Jeanette - "You're a great boyfriend; Sherlock Holmes is a very lucky man"

Kitty/the tabloids in TRF - 'Bachelor John Watson' and "You and John Watson, just platonic? I'll put down a 'no'"

And now Mrs Hudson again in The Empty Hearse. Even though she's known them for two years and has met at least one of John's girlfriends.

And then there are the jokes they make themselves: "people might talk" at the pool and "now people will definitely talk" when they were handcuffed.

In The Blind Banker - "I have a date, when two people go out and have fun"
"That's what I was suggesting"
"I hope not"

Then in Sign of Three Sherlock mentions that helped John learn how to dance for his wedding and John says Mrs Hudson saw them and that's probably how those rumours got started or something.

So yeah, there's a lot more than one or two.
