You know what's funny? That no matter which way you put it, whether you
believe that there was, indeed, some gay subtext regarding Frodo and Sam,
or not, one thing is clear: Frodo never returned Sam's love. What they had
can hardly be called a relationship, even less- a friendship. Sam adores
Frodo, kisses him, hugs him, etc..., but does Frodo ever do the same? No.
And I don't buy the 'it's because he's burdened with the ring' explanation.
The feeling here is not mutual, it only goes one way. I personally do
believe that Sam's adoration for his master extended to physical levels as
well, but so what? Frodo didn't give a s***. There's a controversial idea
for you, and I'm sure I'm going to be flamed for suggesting this, both by
pro-gay's and anti-gay's. Oh well.
