Everybody but everybody was talking about this over the weekend - in an interview with a German website Sir Ian McKellen was asked about how far the film industry has come with regards to gay actors and, if the website and the subsequent Google-Translation-Mangling are to be believed, Sir Ian went ahead and stripped the beards right off a hefty chunk of the cast of The Hobbit. Said Sir Ian:
"I would say that has been done in this regard in the last ten years in the industry a lot. Just look only how many openly gay actors in the “Hobbit” with were: two of the dwarves, to Luke Evans, Stephen Fry, Lee Pace. In “The Lord of the Rings” I was the only one next to it there was my make-up artist and one from the wardrobe team. That’s only once a progress, right?"
Let it be known that from here on out I am only referring to The Hobbit Movies as The Noted Homosexual Hobbit movies.

our dreams are real.
So Adam Brown is apparently one of the gay dwarves. The other? Perhaps this answers the question:

Who knows if it's true but the thought of Lee Pace and Richard Armitage as a couple makes me dizzy.
You miss the point completely! If you read the question, it's all about being openly gay.
Per the article: 'He was commenting on the progress the film industry has made in the last decade in terms of out actors and to illustrate, McKellen contrasted his experience on The Lord of the Rings set– where only he, a makeup artist and a wardrobe person were out gay men– to The Hobbit which features a number of “openly gay” actors.'
Read it in that context, it's clear that he is indicating that TLOTR had a bunch of actors that were not comfortable being "openly gay" and instead were in-the-closet.
Please please please Goddess, let the other gay dwarf be Aidan Turner! I never ask for anything so pppplease just do this one thing for me!
Wow, so many gays in that movie, you could almost call it a SMAUGasbord.
Well, after a bit of sleuthing, the only hobbit dwarf actors (aside from Adam Brown, who is confirmed gay) who aren't married are Peter Hambleton and Richard Armitage
