“There’s not a seething, bubbling hunger to see straight stars impersonating homosexuals,” says former New York Post film critic and right-wing-y radio host Michael Medved of Sherlock Holmes. “”I think they’re just trying to generate controversy . . . They know that making Holmes and Watson homosexual will take away two-thirds of their box office. Who is going to want to see Downey Jr. and Law make out? I don’t think it would be appealing to women. Straight men don’t want to see it.” But: WE DO!

See? Guy Ritchie does love the gays.
