Det. Watts being gay

Why? Well, lol, there ARE gay people in the world. They do exist. And Murdoch Mysteries does have a track record of tackling thorny social issues: racism, homosexuality (before Det. Watts was even written into the show. Why? Because it makes Watts more interesting, as *any* revelation about specific individual qualities or experiences make *any* character more interesting.
And as to "even if Det. Watts had never had a relationship," well, lol. That might have worked for you. I doubt whether it would have made Watts happy.
Is making Watts gay virtue-signaling? Well, I don't know. Is attacking the decision to make him gay bigotry-signaling?
