Vitesse,

Adariana was not labeling anyone but was instead stating what Tolkien's views on homosexuality were likely to be based on his devout religious beliefs. Her point was a simple one and didn't deserve a rebuke. Please step back from the defensive posture and comment on what she was saying: "Tolkien, being very religious, would have considered homsexuality wrong and would not have intentionally injected it into his stories."
