What was the sexual orientation of Arthur Conan Doyle?

Answer 1

Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock, was apparently friends with Oscar Wilde & Roger Casement, who were both gay. BUT! Being gay was punishable by imprisonment & death back in those days, so if Sherlock is gay & not asexual, then he was closeted.

Answer 2

Rumours spread concerning William Shakespeare's homosexuality, but none were ever confirmed. Apparently, his Sonnet, the Dark Lady, tells of a man he has fallen in love with. Nonetheless, he ended up happily married with Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children.
Maybe. We know very little about his personal life. We know that he had a sexual relationship with his wife before they were married, which argues that he was sexually attracted to women. There is no real evidence that he ever had a sexual encounter with another man. People who want to read such feelings into the sonnets are basically imposing their own desires on Shakespeare; we cannot deduce anything about his true self from reading the sonnets. However, the absence of evidence always leaves open any possibility as a possibility.
