Why are hobbits so gay

TVGO: They sure seem gay. Monaghan: Laughs That's a great joke! But sure, there's a connection. Hobbits are very openhearted. They're very genuine. They're very pure with their emotions. If they feel love, they show it. If they're sad, they cry. I do love Billy and Elijah and Sean [Astin]. They're my brothers. I'd do anything for them, and I really enjoy being in their space and I miss them when they're not around.

If that for some reason is translated into being gay, then I think that's a real shame. Monaghan: They leave the Shire and they go to Rohan to give their tribute to the kings there. And then, they go to Gondor and they see Faramir and Eowyn. I think they both die in Gondor and are buried next to each other, which is a really beautiful thing. Instead, some of this erotic energy has re-emerged in the developing relationship between Frodo and Gollum, which is a main focus of The Two Towers.

This new depiction of Gollum, greatly enhanced through the use of breakthrough computer graphics, is a truly impressive sight. With huge glistening eyes, he is virtually naked save for a tiny loincloth, the only bare-skinned body amidst a world of heavily clad and armored characters, almost phallic in his libidinal scrambling about.

Here is a striking image for each gay man to consider as a possible reflection of his own inferior, infantile, crushed, gay shadow-self. Perhaps never before on screen has a hero had so much affection for such a grotesque character. Yet in order to integrate the shadow and its hidden treasures a person must actively wrestle with it. This process can be assisted in yet another way by watching The Two Towers.

Because Jackson has successfully applied an amazing hyper-realism to this fantasy character, Gollum seems utterly believable on screen. With some referencing to the original novel and a little erotic fantasy, gay filmgoers can restore the sexual union of Frodo and Sam as well as the other pairings, such as Merry and Pippin, Gimli and Legolas, Aragorn and Boromir.

The Lord of the Rings shows a world on the edge of apocalypse that is saved by one individual who learns to rely upon the everlasting support of his loving comrade while developing empathy for the most inferior creature in his world. Each of us can embark on our own psychological version of this journey in order to become more whole, self-actualized, and liberated, thereby modeling a new way of gay being and becoming for a deeply troubled and hateful world desperately in need of a more authentically loving alternative.

Roger Kaufman is a gay-centered psychotherapist intern working in a Los Angeles private practice. Tolkein states that Gimli and Legolas are said to have built a boat and also passed together over the Sea and into the West. This is such a stretch. Projecting your own sexuality into a book written 80 years ago. You claim there is no heterosexuality in the books, yet ignore Aragorn and Arwen, Samwise and Rosie as well as many others. How about you just allow the book to be a story and stop trying to project how you feel which is entirely your choice onto everything.

Your Name required. Your Email required. Why would I get upset by that? Why would Russell Crowe throw a phone at a hotel clerk? Why would Christian Bale have a meltdown on a movie set? Actors have a reputation for being touchy. Yes, O. But it would be silly for me to take that personally.

Gandalf is 7, years old. Are you sure? Other people can read into it what they like or what they can. Who wins? The real wizard. I think you might lose that money. Other than using his staff as a flashlight, what exactly are his magical talents? You know, he and I often get mistaken for each other. I saw Mike recently when he was doing a play in the West End and I asked if he gets mistaken for me.

He said it happens all the time. But he never corrects them. I heard you like to rip out the passage in the bible that condemns homosexuality as a sin.

I do, yes. I only write in pencil so it can be rubbed out. I never turn down the corner of a book. I can only talk about being gay and being an actor. Your T-shirt that never was. Get over it. Yes, I was a little disappointed about that.
