STARCROSSED REVIEW – GAY ROMANCE RIFF ON ROMEO AND JULIET IS A GIDDY LIGHT
In addn, early morns did not e the terms “homosexual” or “gay.” However, they were opposed to sodomy. As English scholar Ben Snrs says: “In the Renaissance, the love that dare not speak s name is not homosexualy, but rather any love that dar to pos a woman as worthy of a man’s plete votn.”.
None of this means Shakpeare was gay. What do this have to do wh beg gay?
Not all gay men are effemate, but what our culture has to offer straight culture is the possibily of lookg at societal norms a different way, and that’s what Shakpeare offers too. US playwright Rachel Gar has relegated Shakpeare’s famo lovers to the wgs and re-spun Romeo and Juliet as a tragic gay romance between Tybalt and Mercut.
