gayest shakespeare sonnets: a selection
turns out all the sonnets are really gay but here is my list of the absolute gayest ones, because i was not prepared for how explicit these were going to be and it devastated meĀ
sonnet 20Ā - this is theĀ āmaster-mistress of my passionā one
sonnet 22 -Ā āPresume not on thy heart when mine is slain; / Thou gavāst me thine, not to give back again.ā
sonnet 23 - acting metaphors! the difficulty of expressing verbally what silent love hath writ! gazing at your love with your whole heart in your eyes!
sonnet 25 - rich and noble people have joy in honour and wealth and so on but turns out having joy in being gay is way better than that - āThen happy I, that love and am beloved / Where I may not remove nor be removed.ā
sonnet 26 - beginsĀ āLord of my loveā and just gets gayer from there
sonnet 27 - for those nights when u canāt sleep for staying up pining and thinking about him
sonnet 41 - this oneās sad bc his boyfriend is Straying but also love btw a man and woman is explicitly directly made analogous to the love between the speaker and the addressee so like. stop no-homoing the sonnets
sonnet 53 - compare ur bf to both helen and adonis, no big deal
sonnet 57Ā - this love is the speakerās WHOLE LIFE and he knows heās a fool for his bf but he canāt help it
sonnet 61 - another too-gay-to-sleep one
sonnet 71Ā and sonnet 72 - donāt be sad for me when iām dead, iād rather be forgotten by you than have you be sad or be exposed to ridicule over your love for me - please read these ones they make me cry
sonnet 80 - RIVAL POET someone else is writing fancier poems about you!! now what!!
sonnet 87 -Ā āFarewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,ā aka If You Love Someone Let Him Go (sad)
sonnet 91 - iām not rich or noble but at least iām not straight, mark two -Ā āThy love is better than high birth to me, / Richer than wealth, prouder than garmentsā cost, / Of more delight than hawks or horses be; / And having thee, of all menās pride I boastā
sonnet 93 -Ā āSo shall I live, supposing thou art true, / Like a deceived husbandā - just comparing yourself to his HUSBAND. bye
sonnet 108 - the reason heās writing all these sonnets is to immortalise their love for antiquity -Ā āSo that eternal love in loveās fresh case / Weighs not the dust and injury of ageā. also,Ā āsweet boyā
