CGiii Comment
Aaah that never-ending great Shakespearian debate continues.
Oooh to be smitten by the beauty of youth.
It's literate, it's flimsy and it's lavish. And, entertaining - for what it's worth.
William Shakespeare was almost certainly homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual.
The sonnets provide no evidence on the matter.
Here endeth the debate.
