Is Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes Gay?

So the latest buzz about Guy Ritchie‘s Sherlock Holmes movie is intriguing:  it seems that Guy is playing up the homoerotic aspects of the relationship between Holmes and Watson.  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s famous detective

is seen SHARING A BED with his dear, dear, Dr Watson and also enjoying some man-to-man wrestling with his close chum.

Robert Downey Jr., who plays Sherlock Holmes, says:

“We’re two men who happen to be room-mates, wrestle a lot and share a bed. It’s badass.”

Jude Law, who plays Watson, further explains in a less titillating way:

“Guy wanted to make this about the relationship between Watson and Holmes. They’re both mean and complicated.”

OK, I admit that sounds kind of gay, but what’s the big deal?  And keep in mind, this movie is set probably 100+ years ago?  Maybe at the time it was more OK for guys to share a bed and wrestle a lot?   We’ll just have to wait and see for ourselves when the movie is released in November.
