Perhaps there is a possibility that Shakespeare was not the sole author of his plays, but that he had a muse... a patron or partner that provided Shakespeare with the stories that he turned into poetic plays.

Just wondering if the homos have claimed Shakespeare was gay yet?

Actually, many if not most of Shakespeare's plots came from old stories. Like any great artist, he built his work on the work of others. And like any great artist, it's what he did with that work that separates him.
