Oh, and in the vein of gay/lesbian fiction of possible interest: Stonewall Mystery Press released (oh, 20 years ago now) "Sherlock Holmes and the Mysterious Friend of Oscar Wilde".
I think it's very true-to-the-voice, but Holmes starts off as a RAGING homophobe (including pulling a gun on Wilde), and slowly thaws throughout. Especially after Mrs. Hudson points out the OBVIOUS implications of Dr. Watson hanging around Baker Street so much...
(And it's an entertaining read.)
