As a non-LGBT person, I need some insight into whether or not this is mildly homophobic.
I’m writing a scene where Sherlock is teasing Mike by being a little TMI about his (Sherlock’s) relationship with John. I wrote Mike laughing and telling him to shut up because he doesn’t want to know about them having sex. This is a unilock, and Mike is John’s roommate, and earlier he was teasing John and Sherlock about how thin the walls are and how “active” they are. Mike’s not supposed really to be grossed out by it, but rather just acting over the top in his reactions when Sherlock starts going into the details.
As I said, I’m not LGBT, and I’m worried that I’m making it seem like Mike is overreacting because they’re two guys, and not just because he doesn’t want to know about his friends, regardless of gender, getting it on. I’m also not a guy, so I don’t really know how guys react if a friend does start going into detail about their sex life, whether with a guy or a girl. Personally, I don’t really want to hear a play by play of my friends’ sex lives (unless they’re with someone who’s really bad and my friend needs to vent).
So yeah, let me know what you think because I’d hate to accidentally write something that could be hurtful, or even slightly homophobic. (The rare times homophobia shows up in my writing, it’s always reserved for the “bad guys” and used to highlight what shitlords they are)
