But then again, why couldn't it be somewhat sexual? I agree Tolkien wrote it as simple love between two friends, a very deep love. But what I don't egt is why everybody makes this big bluster about "oh no no no, it's not sexual. How dare you? You ignorant boob!" kind of stuff. I personally feel that sex and love should be much more fluid and warm and open that it is in our neurotic and puritanical society (this applies to the world in general, but particularly to Britain and America (even moreso in America, IMO)). To me, the labels heterosexual and homosexual, straight and gay, etc., are silly, inaccurate, and in fact inadequate to sum up the range of emotions and feelings hidden inside human hearts. To me, LOTR would be a much poorer work if it had this huge caveat about how Frodo and Sam loved each other, but no way were they gay, nope, no way, they were hobbits hobbits if ya' know whot I mean eh? Eh! Yeah, ha ha. [Belch] I like it the way it is, unapologetic. Dave C-Q
