It is not always an indication, but he was married and fathered three children. Some people think he was gay, as some of his poetry was written to a man; but others argue that he married Anne Hathaway which shows that he could have been bisexual or even straight. At the time, it was quite acceptable for straight men to express strong feelings of affection for each other which did not have any implication of sexual attraction. Crossing the line into expressions of sexual desire for other men was strictly and ferociously punished, as were acts of homosexuality. Gays of Shakespeare's day had to be very careful.
In the long run, it doesn't matter what his orientation was; he was a superb poet and playwright.
