Kemper:
Well... though I may be wrong, I'm not joking.  It was my initial,
clean (never hearing or reading ways to interpret the play) hit on the
the play.  I believe that deep loving friendships exist without
suggestion of homosexuality (Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins).  

I do think Othello thinks Iago a deep fried rather than a lover.  And
this in part or perhaps whole is what I think drives Iago into
villainy though he blames it on being passed for a promotion which is
self deception on Iago's part.

Again, I may be wrong.  But then, on Main I suggested that DD could be
gay a year before DH came out.  So I think my gaydar in literature can
pick up a blip from a soliloquy or a flamboyantly cut suit of plum
velvet.
