So, we don’t know if the young man is real or fiction (the sonnet sequence, typically addressed to a beloved, was a thing then; some of the beloved women of hetero sequences look like literary fictions, so why not the young man?) If the young man was real, and Shakespeare was attracted to him, we must remember that sodomy was then seriously illegal: was Shakespeare’s “no homo” sincere, or was it a bit of cya, if that’s the right expression?
