While there is no definitive evidence to label Mercutio as homosexual, some interpretations of his character in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" suggest he may have had romantic feelings for Romeo. His playful and flirtatious banter, particularly in his interactions with Romeo and his witty comments about love, can be viewed through various lenses, including a homoerotic subtext. Ultimately, his sexuality remains open to interpretation, reflecting the complexity of his character and the themes of love and friendship in the play.

Mercutio challenged Tybalt to a fight when there was no need to do so. Indeed Mercutio was spoiling for a fight with him from the start. When Tybalt asks if he can have a word with Mercutio, Mercutio says, "why not couple it with something? Why not make it a word and a blow?" which is about a provocative as you could get.
Mercutio and Romeo were friends; that's what friends do.
