MAKE AMAZON’S LORD OF THE RGS GAY, YOU COWARDS

The pot is that Middle Earth was and is, for many of , a very very gay place and I would very much like to see that queer legacy reflected some way, Amazon’s new Lord of the Rgs seri. When I suggted to Sean that he take Elijah’s [Wood, who plays Frodo] hand… was bee I thought anyone who would re about the ep iendship (often of an nocent physil nature) … I thought that might be missed by two rolutely heterosexual actors who might not appreciate that gay people, like myself, saw a touch somethg, perhaps, more meangful than others might. Even Tolkien himself, and his relatnships wh men, have been the subject of some speculatn, most recently the rather dull but passgly homoerotic bpic Tolkien.

And they're gay for each other! In the movie Mortensen is also playg a gay man, and he recently shared a ank rponse regardg backlash over his the past few years, there's been a ton of nversatn the film dtry about cln and visibily. And people then ask me, 'Well what about Terry Chen, who plays my hband the film, is he a homosexual?

This post was wrten wh the extend edns of the films as base texts, bee more mut mean more chanc to prove your homosexual upledom. Look, this is not a new theory: the two hobbs at the centre of The Lord of the Rgs are not bt iends, but fact, a gay uple.

So the tert of dispellg any uncertaty whatsoever, I’ve watched all three Lord of the Rgs films and built up a pretty unimpeachable se as to why Frodo and Sam are fively, absolutely, a gay uple. Frodo and Sam never have any adventur or do anythg unexpected until an olr gay man forc them to go on a tchotchke-based qut.
