The world may never know...

Wonder what Anne Hathaway, and his 3 children would have thought about it?

No William Shakespeare wasn't gay OR a black man.

However, Christopher Marlowe possibly was Bisexual and also wrote many of the literary works that William Shakespeare then claimed as his own.

Christopher Marlowe was the literary genius, not William Shakespeare.

The guy's been dead a long time. Who cares if he was or wasn't gay?

 

[Auld Phart]

Well, if he was, he could vote dem, and any backlash could be called bigotry

Somebody elect you the representative of everyone who uses USMB?...No they did not.

Ok, then you tell us. What possible difference would it make?

I know two people with a gay parent.

 

[Auld Phart]

Did I say he wasn't gay?

I asked what his wife and children would have thought about it.

I would like to see some sort of proof he was gay.

Doesn't seem to be any.

Just baseless rumors

WS may have been bisexual. A weak case can be made on the "dark Lady" character in his Sonnets.

Marlowe was great, WS borrowed very little from Marlowe. Any such suggestion was dismissed long ago by the scholars.

Willie Shakes gay? Oh, c'mon. Try reading or saying his words with a lisp sometime.

Why not? Many of the most brilliant people ever seen were gay. Intellectuals, artists, musicians, architects, scientists and so on.

Perhaps the question here is why are gays better than Republicans?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Gays are Republicans as well as Democrats or centrists.

Gays are no better and now worse than straights.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

No. He wrote passionate love poetry to his girlfriends.

 

[ZackB]

Even I don't care if he was a homo. The fuck crawled up your ass?

It's a factoid that some of the 36,000+ members of USMB might be interested in.

If you're not interested, why not just ignore the thread. Again, there are over 36,000+ members here.
