What, no "Queer Eye" reference?
Actually, the fact that all of this is even an issue with Tolkien's work says something to me about a combination of the rampant homophobia in America and the over-analytical tendencies of the (upper IQ) movie-goers. Whether or not Jackson, or even Tolkien himself intended anything of the sort, what the hell is the deal here? Does it change any aspect of the book/movie at all? Put it this way: what if Sam were a woman and this (phantom) relationship still existed? Would anyone even blink?
