In The Gay Book of Days, Sherlock Holmes is chosen as the entry for his putative birthdate of January 6th.
The entry concludes: "For the sordid details of the famous marriage of true minds that followed, read Rex Stout's astonishing "Watson Was a Woman," in which the famous creator of Nero Wolfe ... reveals that Watson and Holmes were the most extraordinary gay team in sleuthing history." [pp.17-18]

Well technically, if Watson was a woman, then they're hetero, not gay. But if we're just concluding that they're married, but not gender-swapped, then yeah, they are gay. :)
Yes, I think the implication is that all the evidence in that essay is that they are iin a relationship. The conclusion that therefore one of them must be female is not all that parsimonious....
