Yes, it's just as bad as gay characters getting cured of their gayness as soon as they meet the "right" person of the opposite gender.
Do you know the fandom classic Mystrade story "At Least There is the Football"? It is very interesting in the way the author leads Mycroft through the long and sometimes bumpy way to accept physicality. Yes, there is smut, and it's a bit unrealistic sometimes, but the Mycroft characterization is stellar.
Unfortunately, I just can't see Lestrade the way he's shown there, even though we don't really see much of him in canon. But at least it's canon that he used to have a cheating wife with whom he'd tried to make up in Series 2 still, so showing him as a punk rock, motorbike freak, always gay character is just OOC for me.
Also, the story can't be safely timed anywhere in canon, and has otherwise very few touching points with canon events. It's mostly about Lestrade and his fairly hard-to-believe family, with a side of Johnlock. Great Anthea background, though.
