silversolitaire

Now, isn't that the slashiest Shakespeare one could imagine?

Iago:

"I do not like the office:
But sith I am entered in this cause so far,
Pricked to 't by foolish honesty and love,
I will go on. I lay with Cassio lately,
And being troubled with a raging tooth,
I could not sleep.
There are a kind of men so loose of soul,
That in their sleeps will mutter their affairs:
One of this kind is Cassio:
In sleep I heard him say "Sweet Desdemona,
Let us be wary, let us hide out loves";
And then, sir, would he gripe and wring my hand,
Cry "O sweet creature!" and then kiss me hard,
As if he plucked up kisses by the roots,
That grew upon my lips: then laid his leg
Over my thigh, and sighed and kissed, and then
Cried "Cursed fate that gave thee to the Moor!"

*fans cold air* Now that conjures some nice images in my head... Woohoo! *_* Okay, I know, homosocial society, bedfellows etcetera, etcetera. But do I care??? hahaha.

And then there's of course sweet Mercutio from Romeo and Juliet who has more than once been interpreted as gay. Just think of the latest film version with Leo DiCap. And there you go, out of the mouth of Tybalt, who obviously suspects Romeo and Mercutio of having an affaire:
