TJLC Explained: [Episode 22] Sherlock is Gay

Trki, Kody, Cheaty do

1. Okay, I'm just asking but what has the color pink to do with being gay?
2. I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!!! I mean 1. you're sooooo damn pretty. 2. YOU'RE WHOLE CHANNEL IS ABOUT TJLC!!!! 3. You're videos are sooo interesting and I can't get enough of them. I mean Ive I've always shiped Johnlock but watching your videos has opened my eyes even more and now I just wanna tell everyone how gay they are and after watching your video about Mary......gosh now I hate her so much.Before I really liked her and I was really sad when !!!SEASON 4 SPOILER!!! she died !!!SPOILER END!!! (XD) but after watching your video I'm just like HOW COULD I BE SO DAMN BLIND. HOW DID I NOT NOTICE SHE'S THE DEVIL. Now I'm trying to convince my mother that Johnlock is canon but she just doesn't believe me. I wish I could show her your videos but unfortunately she doesn't speek english. OH AND THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VIDEO EVER NOW!! <3♡♡♡♡
3. I love the phrase 'confirmed bachelor' - an old coded reference for being gay. Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, and Paul Dinello used it several times with the character of Geoffrey Jellineck in 'Strangers With Candy.'
4. I really like the idea of Sherlock being gay and in love with John (so Johnlock can become canon) but I don't see how your arguments for this speak for a romantic interest of Sherlock for John; this can all be interpreted as platonic love, too, and is much more probable than a romantic or even sexual love. I mean look at Sherlock, he's just so asexual
5. Ugh they're so in love I can't
6. I am living!
7. While I'm not against the idea of Sherlock being gay, (I'm convinced he goes either way in my opinion) some of these theories or reasonings why just have me shaking my head. Like he yelled pink because the woman was wearing all pink and the suitcase matched her clothes and that was what he was trying to get across to Lestrade and Watson. He grabbed Johns face to get him to focus on remembering details about a case they were trying to solve because usually when you want someone to focus you want to keep them from getting distracted by anything. I could go on by I think that gets my point across. Honestly you could have just talked about the not correcting people when they say things about him and John, or how he didn't necessarily correct John when he said "do you have a boyfriend?" and he didn't say "thats not
   my area" But it's silly for you to immediately relate any possible stereotypical gay gesture or "unmasculine" thing that Sherlock does to his sexuality or anyones for that matter.
8. thank you for pointing out all and every little detail about this! But I actually think that Sherlock is asexual. I am asexual myself and so I know first handed that there is a big difference between asexual and aromantic. He is definitely interested in John but from my point of you this is a mostly romantic and not sexual interest. He mostly admires him for his personality and I can't find any point in which he implies he wants directly sexual contact to john. Also steven moffat himself called him asexual and I think without being more specific about it, he tried to erase further gay rumors. (which will never work with us...) I am not as invested as you though, so correct me if I am not seeing something here. Amazing video! I love your stuff!
9. Also Kermit!! that's basically outing
10. i support your idea, but some of those "proofs" are very senseless
11. While allot of it makes sense sure, I feel like the video is deep in confirmation bias. Even the smallest details and subtext points towards sherlock being gay.
    In a series about a detective and his tale of deductions, why would they focus so much energy on a subtextional sexual preference?
    
    For example, I don't think he can't read Irene Adler because he likes men. It's because she is good at hiding and covering up her true self. She is 'clean' of deductons so to speak, because she is good at the game.
    
    but... they do bring up the whole gay thing quite a few times througout the series, but that is a natural assumption when two men are living together, so it might mean nothing.
    
    jumping out of a cake inherently sexual... really?
    
    It's a strong case of confirmation bias. You are constantly looking for reasons for him to be gay, making them extremely far fetched most of the time.
    
    On second thought, honestly there are more than a few things that enforce the gay theory, that aren't that far fetched, and not at all far fetched. At the end of the series, it wouldn't suprise me if it's revealed at some point that he's gay, and yeah honestly.... in love with John.
    Would explain why he just ''enjoys having him around'' even though he doesn't really contribute. Seems odd for a non-people person like sherlock.
    He cares for him far more than one would expect for sherlock, it's like an unnaturally strong friendship, and the natural conclusion for a 'too strong' friendship would be other feelings than just friendship.
    
    yeaah, there's no way he's not gay.
    I'm on board.
12. it's also kinda confirmed. Benedict Cumberbatch made some not so subtle hints in an interview saying that Sherlock was gay
13. That clickbait and the subtitles killed me lol

    I laughed at those and I agreed all of these nearly 47 minutes
