rumours.. that was shakespear's best friend.. shakespear couldn't find a perfect match for a wife, he loves women too much to get married.. like russel peters said, if he stick to one, he'll only love woman and not women..
But shakespear has the tendency to write about his best friends and the stones and the sea and the sky.. doesn't make him gay at all.. just that he's a very sentimental person. and a great artist..
