Gay subtext? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oh, Obloquoy, you read my post, thank you fellow traveller. Yes, I agree with you. But was the depth of their friendship strictly the circumstance-driven do you think? There are indications, before Bree, in Lorien, outside Moria, of their friendship growing closer before things got really bad. That seems to be more personality-driven.

Everyone else, no need to go on about specificly "gay subtext", we're on a new tangent. Eve is long gone, ridden out on a rail. I think we can count only 1049 of our 1050 members, given the reason she left.

I never thought I'd learn something so serious in this site. Six years ago I laughed at my gay friends, after a mutual friend who didn't know their orientation embarrassed herself by making disparaging comments. I defended her, said well, she was brought up by her grandparents, very Catholic. "I mean, I know there are some barbarians out there, but most normal people don't have such anti-gay feelings." They said "Don't be so sure about that." I thought they were just paranoid. But they were right.
