It seems to me that a pretty good case can be made from this that Shakespeare was at least bisexual.
My point: Who the @#$% cares.
Shall I compare thee to a Summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft’ is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Yeah? Which part exactly?
I've never heard it put like that, but, if so, it's not as if W.S. has the typical gay adgenda in mind. In the 3rd Sonnet, for instance, he's advising the young man to go find a woman and have children, or till his husbandry, as he puts it.
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest Now is the time that face should form another; Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest, Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother. For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry? Or who is he so fond will be the tomb Of his self-love, to stop posterity? Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee Calls back the lovely April of her prime; So thou through windows of thine age shalt see, Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time. But if thou live, remember'd not to be, Die single and thine image dies with thee
Uh, no. They were dedicated to a patron, as almost all works were in those days. The patron paid the bills, so Willy could write for a living. In return, the patron got to show how sophisticated a supporter of the arts he was.
But they were not addressed to the patron.
