Gimli definitely put it in Legolas' butt a few times, I assume that's made pretty clear in the Silmarillion.

ths is one of those "men cant be close friends without being gay" articles isn't it?

there's like two relationships of note in the books, and neither of them are really talked about in great detail. they went much harder on the aragorn/arwen relationship in the movie because of shit pacing reasons but that's not an excuse to retcon even more crap into the story.

I am sure they will want to update it someday with remakes decades from now. I bet people in 2072 would prefer a new take, than an ancient movie from their grandparents time

But also, the movies left a lot of story out. Peter Jackson I think said he wishes it could have been 9 movies instead of 3. A trilogy for each book

It's obviously the struggles of a gay hobbit in a heteronormative fantasy world that has no basis on real world

When will people like the article writer ever realize that two guys in fiction (or otherwise) that are simply very close friends (in a bromance if you want to use that term) do not have any feelings for the other that are not strictly platonic?

Yup, the goddamn fujoshi crowd needs to be told "shut the fuck up" whenever they try to make their delusions part of canon.

There has been games/series that I did question the sexuality of characters.

Lord of the ring is not one of them.

I questioned Ike's sexuality in Fire emblem and Yuri/Flynn. It was obvious in Lord of the ring that the characters were not intended to be "queer coded". It sounds more like a fanfic that what it was.

I remember Sir Ian talking about pushing for the scene where Sam grabs Frodo's hands in Rivendell because he wanted to show the non-sexual tenderness of the relationship.

It was really important to him, but it had nothing to do with sexuality.
