Gay frodo and sam

Despite their timelessness, the emotional connection and intimate interactions between Frodo and Sam have driven many to ascribe homosexual undertones into the story. The internet is flooded with progressive theories, memes, articles, and videos supporting such nonsense. Such behavior is an indicator that our culture has become so delusional in correctly identifying biblical sexuality and masculinity, that an entire generation is missing the beauty in their emotive, platonic bond. To state my point in the positive: the bond between Frodo and Sam is a worthy demonstration of biblical masculinity.

The Lord of the Rings films resonate with millions of people for as many reasons as the trilogy is long. The special effects are outstanding; the way the movies pluck exquisitely from the source material while carving their own path forward helps to satisfy all audiences; and director Peter Jackson immerses the viewers into a world that fully validates the high fantasy genre on the big screen. Frodo and Sam are the ultimate fantasy duo. They lean on each other emotionally in ways that are uncommon amongst straight men, especially in the Western world.

This post was written with the extended editions of the films as base texts, because more minutes mean more chances to prove your homosexual coupledom. Look, this is not a new theory: the two hobbits at the centre of The Lord of the Rings are not best friends, but in fact, a gay couple. And honestly? Not a super functional one!

When Ali and Meg asked me to write a guest piece for The Yearning , I immediately knew I wanted to write about Lord of the Rings , aka the gayest fantasy series that straight men love. Not good Gay behavior! I grew up in a movie family—we would all go to the local movie theater several times a month and rent videotapes and DVDs from the library to watch on the daily. Now, baby Nina was not as open and adventurous as she is today.
