Naturally, Mr. Tolkien would never have put something like homosexuality in TLotR. He was devote Catholic and an Englishman to boot. In that day and age, homosexuality were not such a big deal and hardly worth mentioning.<P>I love Sam and Frodo's relationship as is: pure brotherly love. You just don't see that much in stories these days. And the fact that there was no sex at all in TLotR really made it much more appleaing to me. (I am a firm believer that sex does not sell and I prefer my fantasty sex-free. Sadly, I've only found two fantasy books/series that have none of it suggested at all: Lord of the Rings, and the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. If anyone knows of others, please, please, please tell me!)
