. . . I'm just saying all the discussion above and below is tiresome because it's not getting anywhere, and, for the present anyway, can't get anywhere. I tend to side with you that the sonnets are personal and at least partially autobiographical (but I'm willing to be proven wrong) -- but even in that case, there are possible heterosexual interpretations (father-to-son, father-to-surrogate-son), so we're still left with ambiguity. That's all I meant by "unprovable."
Anyway, based on the engraving on the frontipiece of the First Folio, I'm inclined to think that Shakespeare was really an alien, badly made up to resemble a human being. ("ET, summon thee to home . . .")
