Hobbit "social" mores, aye, we wonders...

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Welcome, Mr. Frodo. I'm surprised to see this topic see the light of day again, and congratulate you on digging through old threads. Actually, this subject was thoroughly thrashed in a notorious thread called "Gay Subtext."

My conclusion was:
a) No, of course Tolkien did not intend for this to be read into his books, or there would be something in his letters to indicate it.
b) There's nothing wrong with anyone having a little fun in their own interpretation of, and at the expense of, fictional characters.
