How can you claim that Sherlock is gay when the showrunners say he isn't? After all, they are the ones in charge of the show's canon, so it's not like somebody higher than them overruled their decision. Are you taking a cue from the Cult of Destiel over in
Do you mean the same showrunners who wrote Sherlock as a guy who can easily recognize other gay men by their underwear and the product in their hair? The same showrunners who wrote Sherlock as saying himself that girlfriends weren’t his area (but that he didn’t have a boyfriend and knew that having one was fine)? The same showrunners who made it so three different characters who have known Sherlock in the past saw him with a man and automatically assumed it was his new boyfriend? The same showrunners who have stated that “The Private Life of Sherock Holmes,” - a story about a canonically homosexual Holmes - was their favorite adaptation? The same showrunners who wrote mirrors of Watson and Holmes into their show Doctor Who as a lesbian couple? The same showrunners whom one of is a married gay man who continuously advocates for the LGBT community and has once said ‘Just think gay. I always do.“ ? The same showrunners who were commissioned for BBC Sherlock the same year the BBC agreed to be integrating more LGBT representative shows into their programming? The same showrunners who are famous for lying, love shocking their audience, and hate spoilers/giving things away? Those ones?
Lol yeah, u rite, u rite. Where did I come up with such a crazy cultish concept ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My thought(s) on the (possible?probable?) Niagara Falls...
My thought(s) on the (possible?probable?) Niagara Falls situation.
My take is that it’s like 1895- it’s Canada, it’s Niagara Falls, and it’s at this point in the story arc, for a reason.
We know Mofftiss have had the story planned from the beginning. Also, it’s highly unlikely either of them looked up and suddenly announced “we’re going to Canada next week”, or that the BBC would budget it so last minute.
The symbolism of the falls is, traditionally, portrayed by the Reichenbach Falls, and after TAB we can understand the significance of it- the dismissal of heteronormativity; the two of us against the rest of the world; it’s not the fall, it’s the landing; and finally John shoving Moriarty, Sherlock’s deepest and darkest part of himself, over the falls. So to see (Niagara) Falls in the tweets from the crew, immediately signifies Johnlock.
Why Canada? Well, I’ll admit I don’t know enough about Canada or ACD, BUT I did know a Sherlock Holmes story was set there. So, why are Mofftiss doing it now?
It’s just like how 1895 had to be after S3. Canada (if it is Canada) has to be S4, after 1895. I have read that Canada was one of the first countries to legalise gay marriage. At the end of TAB, Moriarty suggests they elope. They call this “impertinent” and “offensive.” Well, if Sherlock is a man out of his time, and Canada was one of the first to legalise gay marriage, then they wouldn’t need to elope, would they? So maybe the significance of Canada in this context, and the idea of it as a possible honeymoon destination, is not beyond our wildest hopes.
Recently I have been wondering why so many people suggest the idea of Sherlock and John getting married. I myself would be happy either way, as long as they are together. And then seeing these discussions about Niagara Falls, I thought, maybe Mofftiss were foreshadowing. And I have only just put these two things together.
It’s huge. It’s so astronomical it boggles the mind. But it’s happening. The fear now isn’t “what if we’re wrong?” but “how are they going to do it?” What are they going to put the boys through? Because don’t forget, underneath all this excitement, we still have Moffat’s dire warning of “dark… sad, heartbreaking” and of course, the ever-present threat of Garridebs.
You can feel the full force of it just waiting to be unleashed. It’s exciting. It’s maddening. It’s horrible.
I hate them.
Yes yes yes to all of this, I like it. :D

That’s the 2016 Television BAFTAs and EMMYs...
That’s the 2016 Television BAFTAs and EMMYs sorted. Sophie Okonedo outstanding, from shy beautiful virgin princess, to mistress, to warrior. BC proves, once again that television is his true medium; sharing with viewers the intimacy of his character’s thought process, which has to be up close and personal. He reveals more emotion with a facial muscle, a glint in his eye, a brief glimpse of teeth, than pages of script can attempt.
