If the show had actually given me the impression of consciously going for the interpretation you give here, I might agree with you. But it didn't. It went for "Sherlock is JUST THAT GREAT" and also made her attraction to him into an exploitable weakness instead of intellectual admiration.

And what's more, it did so in spite of the fact that "this man is so BAMF he can cure lesbians" and "homosexuality isn't as real or firm an orientation as heterosexuality" has been an annoyingly pervasive and damaging trope in media for a long time.

But that's what fic is for! God knows I've enjoyed fics reframing problematic characters in positive ways without changing their characterization often enough before. :)

Everyone knows that "gays" can go for the opposite sex at the drop of a panty, but heterosexual men like Sherlock and John are het until they die.

Thank you, you just articulated one of the biggest problems I had with BBCLock

I don't necessarily agree with the person above you but yes, I have a deep abiding issue with that element you've described.

I was about to go "but wasn't there that scene where she suggested John had feelings for Sherlock in spite of him being straight" but then I remembered that if she couldn't hide that she was in love from Sherlock, John definitely wouldn't, and with Sherlock's lack of tact I can't see that going unremarked.

Why, it's like being gay is just a flaw that the right person can fix.

I'm starting to feel like even ACD would recognize all this bullshit as... well, bullshit. 2014 more like 1914
