What about Sebastian?

I was told once there were "more than friendly"
relations going on between Sebastian and Antonio...
I'm not sure where the text is that proves that one.
As far as an Orsino portrayal- he seems to be the kind
of guy that is in love with being in love.
A lot of sexual stuff comes up in performance-
If you think about it, the original performance had a boy
(or male actor, as was customary of the times)
playing Viola, who played Cesario.
So basically, you have a guy dressing as a girl dressing as a guy.
