Shakespeare’s exact contemporary, Christopher Marlowe, was fairly certainly queer; he’s supposed to have said that anyone who doesn’t love boys and tobacco is a fool. (There’s a problem; by all means distinguish ephebophilia from paedophilia, but some of those boys will have been below the age of consent.) The illegality, and social stigmatization, of same-sex relationships would not have been a deterrent to Marlowe because he loved outsiders.
