Yes in some ways. William was a straight forward man. He was not gay that we know of. He was married and had three children with Anne Hathaway.
Although he was married he referred to a young man in 126 of his sonnets which were commonly about love. Many people think this was about his love for a younger man. Although actual sexual relations between men were frowned on and severely punished, deep and powerful affections between men were acceptable and encouraged. The fact that Shakespeare expresses affection for another man is not necessarily an indication that he was homosexual.
