OK, here's where we're having a nice civilised discussion of this topic if anyone wants to join us (remarkably brief, actually, since no one particularly disagrees, but then there's anpther thread on the site about gay fiction, so they're not precisely homophobic):

I haven't read the replies to yesterday's post, by the way, since they seem to be more of the same. I really wouldn't bother registering with Guardian Talk if you only want to queer-bash, since about a dozen or so people would complain and the moderator would throw you out pretty fast. If you're interested in having an intelligent discussion of the Lord of the Rings, or any other book for that matter, then do join us.
And a totally hilarious page you must read, a sort of Aragorn Jones' Diary:

Don't wish to alarm you, but it seems I'm not the first person to have thought of that perverted idea...
