Oh Nina, don't even get me started on the topic of LOTR and queerness! It is, for better or worse (for worse for most people who know me) one of my favorite things to talk about. I'm a huge fantasy nerd in general, a fellow bisexual, and a Tolkien aficionado––a dangerous combo. If you think the movies are gay, I HUGELY encourage you to read the books, which are on another level of queerness that cannot be described, only experienced. The Frodo/Sam and Legolas/Gimli shit that happens in the books has to be read to be believed...for example, did you know that Legolas and Gimli end up going to the Undying Lands together? TOGETHER???? And after spending time trying out the wife-and-kids thing, Sam ends up going to reunite with Frodo in the Undying Lands as well. And god there's so much more. Please read the books.
P.S. horses, horseriding, and horsemanship are all very gay. i'm glad someone finally gets it
P.P.S. war can be sooo gay.....the famous quote "You construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men" is very true, and both war and sports do often fall under it's umbrella.
