If the Fellowship was composed of nine women no-one would bat an eyelid at them hugging and kissing. And yes, male sports teams hug all the time and that's just for getting a ball to a certain point! The men in LOTR are fighting for the freedom of all middle-earth...slightly more intense, i think...<P>Sorry, i don't mean to be lairy </STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Gayalondiel,<BR>I'm prone to sarcasm, a trait common in England judging from the Brits I've known. Surely a Londoner such as yourself would know this. Then again, perhaps I've read your reply wrong.<P>To clear up my position...I do not feel that any work of Tolkiens has gay undertones. It shows a sad state of affairs nowadays when people quickly misconstrue brotherly love for homosexuality. Perhaps these people lack the life experience to discern this difference?
