Hey Buzz. Check this one out. It's a real laugh!  ;D
Here we have a very funny and witty clip by Verilybit_chie called THE QUEER HISTORY OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
Don't get me wrong, some very good insight and research done in describing how 'misconceptions' are running rife around the world at the moment.
Especially via a story written in the mid 20thCentury after the experience of WW1 inspiration - by a Hetero Male called Tolkien.
A very smart clip taking into account with objective, not bias - views that although Tolkien was hetero, he didn't really 'get out much', etc.

Anyway - have a good watch of this as one of the best examples I've ever come across about how to 'make sense' from all this confusion going around (and being spread about by Sauron: The All-Seeing Eyewitness News of the Media).  ;)

PS: I'm sure this will really sort the intelligent members here out from the Pretenders. Guaranteed! Like the ones who can't/won't watch the clip (full) to the end for 'fear' of...  ;D ;D

When I was a kid in the 1950s/1960s, "gay" meant happy or joyful,
and "queer" meant peculiar or strange.

   Anyway, I guess this is on the money?

You get the point Geoff. Well done.
