A study of Juliet's behaviour towards her nurse shows a certain tendency to lesbianism.

No. Ridiculous premise.

I'm sorry, I don't think I want to get involved in a discussion whereby strange, unfounded assumptions are made, particularly the last one.
Edit. Just a thought, but there a forms of friendship, certainly more prevalent in the Elizabethan era, that were probably more demonstrative that we tight-lipped British today, but it certainly doens't fit in with today's almost slavish ned to prove that somebody was one of the already persecuted minorities. It is perfectly possbile to be the closest of friends with somebody, of the same gender, but not to have any homosexual tendencies. Try reading Johnson

Given the nature of the story as a whole, surely you should be asking if Juliet was bisexual?
As for my opinion, the answer is 'no'.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

You're basing this premise around a young girl's bahaviour towards her mother figure? Freud just turned over in his grave to come up with a new 'complex'!
Also, seeing as she asked the nurse to help set up her marriage to Romeo, I'm going to go with no on that one.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
