Gay subtext? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Actually Ive read the books numerous times and there doesnt seem to be sex of any sort in the books. Im not stupid or sexually repressed and Ive recently read a little bit about Tolkien's life and it seems to be he's just not sexually oriented one way or the other. Actually its easier to have a more physical friendship if the "gay" thing doesnt come up. Basically I cant hug a male friend now because of "what if he thinks Im gay?"

Also, you might get a better response if your post didnt have the tone "if you cant see its gay then youre stupid".
