Deleted Gay Scene From "Sherlock", "Arrow" Character Comes Out: Today In Gay

Sherlock, the wildly popular British series recounting the modern-day adventures of the world's greatest detective, is pretty homoerotic to begin with. But co-star Martin Freeman, who plays Watson to Benedict Cumberbatch's Holmes, reveals a scene that would have made it even queerer wound up on the cutting room floor.

Talking with Radio Times, Freeman revealed that the Season 3 episode "The Sign of Three" the dynamic duo get drunk at Watson's bachelor party and wind up in a gay nightclub. “Doing the drunk stuff was lovely, but I regret there was one bit of that drunk stuff that was missing. There was the gay club scene," said Martin. "We were absolutely mullered in the gay club –- lots of topless men going past, and us just going ‘Why are we here?’”

Cumberbatch recalled, “I had no idea why we were there and what it was and why they didn’t have their clothes on and then it dawned on me.”

Oh, did it?

Producer Stephen Moffat defended the decision to cut the scene, saying it went “on and on and on”.

King, who was selected by the President to be a member of the official U.S. delegation to the Games, told the AP, "It is important for me to be with my mother and my brother at this difficult time. I want to thank President Obama for including me in this historic mission and I look forward to supporting our athletes as they compete in Sochi."

Maybe she heard about the terrible conditions in Sochi and decided to skip?


Transgender activist and journalist Janet Mock was incensed after her appearance on Piers Morgan Live Tuesday night. Mock accused Morgan's show of and running text on the screen that was  sensationalizing" her life. (Chyrons indicated Mock "was a boy until age 18," and Morgan referred to her as "formerly a man.")

Morgan invited Mock back on the show Wednesday to address the issue, and the two ended up in a heated debate, with Morgan claiming he was "vilified" despite being supportive of Mock.  "I want to learn why it is so offensive to say that you grew up as a boy," Morgan asked. "And then, because you've always felt that you were female, you had surgery to become a woman—become a real woman, as you say in the book. Why is it offensive?"

Mock attempted to clarify her decision and defuse the controversy:

I think that one of the number one things with trans women, specifically, is that so much of our lives are open to dissection and illegitimacy and investigation and we're constantly questioned ever since we're very young that who we are is incorrect, wrong and should be kept secret... these are issues that I think we need to give trans people space to tell their own stories... I did not correct you [on misgendering] because I was scared... and I think that was probably incorrect of me.

On last night's episode of Arrow, viewers discovered one of the show's ass-kicking characters was gay. No, not Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell)—it was Katrina Law's Nyssa, who, it was revealed, was in a relationship with the bisexual Sara (Caity Lotz). I was surprised I was going to be a lesbian!," Law told E! Online.

"It was really more about Sara than anything else," says Andrew Kreisberg, the show's openly gay producer. "It just felt like something new and different. At the same time, we didn't do it to be salacious. It's a pretty chaste relationship from what you see on screen. For us, it just touched on...the idea that Sara found herself in this terrible world and found this one person who treated her with love and kindness."
