Everyone dies sooner or later, regardless of who they love or don't love.

Golden hair in Tolkien's books is often regarded as more beautiful that dark hair (don't throw Arwen and Luthien in my face for saying that).

You could also say that Tuor loved Idril - and wasn't killed (maybe even didn't die). Faramir loved Eowyn and wasn't killed. Celeborn loved Galadriel, and I don't think he was killed. I believe quite a few of Sam's children had golden hair; hobbits didn't die for admirng it or loving them.

It's not a deadly sin in ME to love golden-haired women.
