I am not hostile to homosexuals ???

What a ridiculous thing to say. I am not hostile to insurance companies or the tax man – but it sure don’t mean I can stand them…

….. Just because she refuses to make Sherlock Holmes gay doesn’t make her homophobic. As the holder of the rights to Sherlock Holmes she has the responsibility to stick to the ORIGINAL character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to ensure that his literary masterpiece remains true to the original. If, in any story, Doyle alluded once to the relationship between Holmes & Watson as being romantic, I’m sure she would be glad to change the character, but Doyle didn’t. We can’t – and shouldn’t – change literary masterpieces just to fit in with our modern way of thinking (although the idea of Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law having an on-screen smooch is quite dreamy :o)
