Tolkien was gay? Wow...that must be a shock to his kids.
Keep in mind the man started writing the stories in his notes and mind in the trenches of WWI. You tend to think of your fellow soldiers a bit closer when people are melting and blowing up around you. Personally, I think of my best friends that closely as well and I am purely hetero. Sounds like someone comes from a generation where men weren't supposed to have emotions.
"What is it I have against Microsoft, you ask? Well, you know how you feel when you wait for an MMO to come out and when it does you feel like you've paid to play it's beta test for another 6-9 months before anything even thinks of working the way it should? Being a network engineer you feel that way about anything Microsoft puts out."
Dunno but the guy who wrote it sure was, don't know anyone who thinks of their friends as close as that unless they're a woman.
If a friend risks his life to protect me, im going to be grateful. Doesn't necessarily mean sexual, unless of course your first thought of two close friends is homosexual...I would say theres a better chance for you switching teams.
Nah, read the book, all the hobbits are like that. They're pretty much little dudes who eat a lot, keep in mind that Tolkien was from another generation and wrote in flowerly prose.
Nothing gay about friends saving eachothers lives? Yes there is....
Someone must have a lot of friends...

Frodo and Sam are not gay. This has been going on for ages, this 'debate'. Spock and Captain Kirk aren't gay either. All these accusations are nothing more then homophobic guys trying to justify they're lack of emotions, even to women. Did Frodo bang Sam? In the movie it certainly looked like he wanted to, but no, don't even bring this up.

I think he is joking here.
Anyway Tolkien was an English professor in one of ow-er leading Private universities. when he wrote this he did say later on that he wanted to create a 'Modern Classical' novel. Which is also why the books has some very sophisticated and pretty nicely done songs in them.
That's one reason the story is like it also the guy served in WW1 in the trenches so was very familiar with the comrade bonds that do form among soldiers in a stressful and dangerous situation so he put that in there too. Also apparently The Shire is based on England and the story is in a way about some British people going out in the world to be British heroes in distant lands.

The way i see it, i'll be your friend but if it comes life or death then every man for himself, apart from my daughter. She was a drunken mistake but i do love her and have to look after her cause her bitch of a mum is at Uni.

Wow, I just found another synonym for asshole.
This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.

No I have a better theory, I think he is a repressed gay.
Usually those people tend to be slightly homophobic in order to divert suspicious from themselves.
It's either that or he has no friends as u said.
Jesus next time that I see a father huggin his son I will report him to the police for peadophilia, surely if he display that kind of affection he must be because he has a sexual interest.................
Wow...have you ever hugged another man? Ever had a male friend be there for you in an intensely emotional situation, perhaps even to the point of literally weeping on their shoulder? Ever think a male friend is seriously injured or dead, and suddenly find them alive and well and unharmed and rush up to embrace them?

No, but after Lotro's advertisement, I think he is damn annoying though.
