I don't read or write Sherlock fic, and although I loved the series when it aired and eagerly await the new episodes, I don't consider myself a part of the fandom in the way I'm a part of the Who fandom.
I understand the non-slash preferences; I would have no problem with the slash being canon, nor do I have issues with the fandom writing slash, but it's not everyone's bag.
That said, IF the non-slash policy is there for homophobic reasons, then no, not cool. If it's just somewhere for people who prefer het/friendship fics to read stuff without wading through a ton of other fics not to their taste, then yes, it's valid.
But, I think the biggest issue here is that they added your story without asking/telling you first; they made assumptions about you as an author, and your writing choices, and that needs to be addressed I feel.
