Was Sherlock Holmes a homosexual?

I saw the serial on Sherlock Holmes and I thought about how they were speculating that he might be 'gay,' (eventhough he is a fictional character). I thought of other known single men in the history, and all those unknown masculine gendered males, who avoided getting married and led a lonely life, just because they did not want women in their life, and there was no social space for men to say they would like to live with a man.
However, the moment you classify them under the western concept of 'homosexual' with its entire third gender background, suddenly these masculine gendered males appear to be effeminate, or at least, not manly enough, with something lacking in their manhood, as is to be expected with the third genders. And, to think that these men guarded their attraction for men with such secrecy, sometimes, forgoing their sexual needs altogether only so to avoid being classified with the third genders.
Its such a misrepresentation of these men, to call them 'gay,' and unfair to them. But, if they could do it to one of the most manly guys in the world, Alexander the great and his lover Hephaistion (ref. the movie "Alexander the Great"), who conquered this world, the ordinary men don't stand a chance.

Also funny about these explanations by modern-day queered westerners is that in those times, men hardly had girlfriends, although, most got married, ... but marriage was not at all about sexuality in those days, but a social/ religious duty or a manhood role for men, AND, you could not be married for a number of reasons (of course, its besides the point that every masculine gendered male has an interest in men).
Men in those days were not forced to be publicly intimate with women to prove their manhood, like in modern day west, and so, men were hardly publicly intimate with women. AND, it was the most 'normal' thing to do for two men to share a bed, so to arrive at any decision on Sherlock's sexual preferences using the modern day unnatural western lifestyle as the criteria, is plain and simply absurd.
Once again, homosexuality is an invalid, queer, western concept.
The concept of Homosexual and Homosexuality is simply invalid.
