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.
