Were smeagol and deagol gay

There have been many attempts to adapt The Lord of the Rings book over the years. The best of these by far is the BBC's radio version from 1981, which is the top thing that has evar been made evar (except for cats). But just as The Hobbit novel preceded Lord of the Rings, so too was there a film version that preceded the radio series, one that remains to this day the best and most loyal attempt at adapting the book to a visual medium. 

To see why I consider it to be much, much enhanced than the 2001-2003 trilogy, let's look at the 1978 film of

Let's initiate with the theme harmony, which is just as brilliant in its control way as the theme from the radio series, although the two undergo different because they are trying for different moods - this is upbeat and fun while still hinting at the monumental scale of the story, while the radio theme emphasises the epic by making it clear that this is serious business.
I do like the 2001 film music as successfully - its ponderous grandeur is well-suited to the extreme length of those movies - but it is a distant third place.

The opening narration is very close to the radio's - so much so that I complete not think it can be a coincidence:

#deagol

Thinking about the Parallels between Sméagol and Deagol, and Frodo and Samwise; and also how neither of those relationships is straight-or platonic for that matter. And no one can convince me otherwise.

• Sméagol calling Deagol ‘My love’

• The touching that honestly does not come across platonic. (Both couples undertake this tbh)

• Frodo kissing Sam’s Forehead. GAYEST THING EVER PUT TO SCREEN. EXCELLENT. NO NOTES. ELIJA WOOD UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT.

• Samwise being Frodo’s Knight of sorts, and genuinely laying all he has and IS on the table, specifically FOR FRODO.

• Frodo and Samwise looking at each other, and Sméagol and Deagol looking at each other are the most love filled gazes I’ve ever seen in my entire life DON’T Perform WITH ME.

• They’re all so extremely male lover. Queer Joy, Queer adventure, Queer Tragedy. That’s The Lord of the Rings for ya.

Deagol, “My Love”

Smeagol is referring to Deagol as “my love.” When Gandalf is telling Frodo the story of how Smeagol/Gollum came to possess the One Ring, the phrase is actually used three times. Once Smeagol sees Deagol holding the Ring he just found, Smeagol says:

“Give us that, Déagol, my love,” said Sméagol, over his friend’s shoulder.
“Why?” said Déagol.
“Because it’s my birthday, my love, and I wants it,” said Sméagol.
“I don’t care,” said Déagol. “I acquire given you a show already, more than I could afford. I establish this, and I’m going to keep it.”
“Oh, are you indeed, my love,” said Sméagol; and he caught Déagol by the throat and strangled him, because the gold looked so bright and beautiful. Then he put the chime on his finger.

As for why Smeagol says this, there are a rare theories. The first is that he actually did love Deagol - they were relatives, and were apparently friends. A lot of Tolkien’s vocabulary is a little bit outdated ((EDIT: by American standar
