While there is some debate as to whether he was an Anglican (which is what he was openly) or a crypto-Catholic, it is very clear that William Shakespeare was not in any way Jewish.
He's kind of dead, so he is not in a position to have lovers. Whether he had any when he was alive is open for debate. There is no actual evidence of it, but lots of speculation.
It would appear not. There is a reference to Richard Burbage being paid to paint an armorial device which was built by a Mr. Shaksper. There is some debate whether this was actually William Shakespeare or another person, but in any event it was not Shakespeare who was hired to do the painting.

One mystery surrounding Shakespeare's identity is the authorship debate, which questions whether he actually wrote the works attributed to him. Another mystery is the lack of personal documentation and the inconsistencies in historical records about his life, leading to speculation about his true identity and background.

They were both creative artists. In fact, both wrote love-poetry to men (whether the nature of the love was sexual or not is a matter for debate). They share a vital statistic: Michaelangelo died in the year Shakespeare was born.
Shakespeare is the most studied author in the English language, and so naturally there are many issues for debate about the plays. Some scholars suggest that Shakespeare was a closet homosexual and this affected his writing. Others suggest that he was a closet Catholic and that this affected the writing of the plays. Other debates have centred around the writing of the plays--whether the ones identified as being by Shakespeare may have been co-written with other authors, or whether plays not identified as Shakespeare's in any contemporary published source may have been his work. Then there are the issues surrounding the sonnets: who is "Mr. W.H.", and who are the sonnets written to (the so-called "fair youth" and "dark lady")? One issue that is not the subject for academic debate is whether William Shakespeare the playwright was the same person as William Shakespeare of Stratford. All of the evidence supports this. Only conspiracy theorists who claim that there would be contrary evidence except that it has been cunningly destroyed or encoded think that this is an issue.
