Who cares? Shakespeare probably didn't write Shakespeare anyway. Joe Sobran wrote a pretty convincing book that the real author of "Shakespeare's" works was Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. But maybe that guy was gay too.

I've read that some researchers believe Shakespeares' works were actually written by Queen Elizabeth I. I'll look around, see what I can find. Had some interest in this during senior english WAY back in high school. Funny what sometimes surfaces from the past.

No way Willy's Gay.

But, wait...he did write "AS YOU LIKE IT," and "TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA."

Hmmmm...

And rumor has it that the Scottish Play was originally entitled, "MacBESS." That was before he decided to write it with a lisp.

Actually, it was not de Vere or Elizabeth. O.J. did it.
