Gay subtext?

[red]

My turn! My turn!

Other than red, who appears to be a genuine homophobe, I didn't see anyone mistreating Eve.

Hmmm... homophobe? Now look who is calling others names. Something which I did not do if you will refer back to my post. I said Tolkien did not have a dirty mind. I nowhere said that anybody did have a dirty mind. Just like many of the above posters do to poor Prof Tolkien’s text, they have done to my post... they have found “undertones” and “subtext” that do not exist.

Anyway, I think that if people like red can't offer anything more intelligent than "homosexuality is dirty", they should clam up...

*sighs* In other words, you are saying folk should not respond unless they agree with the original poster. I did answer the question Eve put forth. She asked if anyone espied gay subtext in LotR. I answered. Plus explained that not only did she read too much into the text, but that Tolkien, about whom we have much biographical information, would never consider advocating such a thing. So the only reason I was flamed is I do not agree with Eve. That’s ok with me, though. I did find this thread entertaining. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Back to “homophobe”. I find that term quite amusing. It is, however, not accurate in the least. Homophobe implies fear. I assure you, I do not fear the queer, quite the contrary! There is nothing frightening about them. I simply find their behaviour immensely repulsive and vile. But scary? No. I find my cat’s litter box disgusting too but no one calls me a litterphobe.

In other words, no flaming, and no whining either.

LOL! And what exactly do you consider your post if it isn’t ‘whining’? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ok, I feel better now. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
