Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out.
My grandfather was born in India and three generations of my family served there.
If I did have the impulse to be a parent, I would adopt - or foster.
From my point of view, being out is not about anything political. It's just because I can't be bothered to be in.
I don't think I've ever tried to change anyone. I don't have the energy.
The opulence of Wilde is a bit too florid for Sherlock, who is a much darker character, ... fascinated by the human condition, but also overwhelmed by it.
