Inct is mon. Dragons le the ski. But gay men are unacceptable? Here's a look at the anchise's problematic history wh LGBTQ reprentatn.

GAME OF THRON: A FEMIST EPISO, A GAY EPISO, OR A DULL EPISO?

[EVERYTHING] Was Jofey gay?

I hate to troduce the possibily that he is reprentative of the typil morn day, self-loathg homosexual polician that seems to permeate today's polil arena wh illogil gay bashg polici and gay cur, but his behavr sure seems nsistent wh those morn day policians.

‘GAME OF THRON’: SO JOFEY HAT GAYS, ON TOP OF EVERYTHG ELSE

To be clear, I mean no offense to the gay muny, so I apologize advance if I am off base here. I thk a lot of Jofey's anger om his supprsn of his natural homosexual sir.

Perhaps bee the language to scribe and fe multiple sexual orientatns don’t exist Wteros, his fay speaks only phemism, but Laenor is gay and his lover is Jofey Lonmouth (Solly McLeod). And while n be argued that most characters the seri experience some form of horrific vlence, queer characters’ aths are often also marked by homophobic subtext that n’t be ignored. He is arrted by a relig sect for the crime of beg gay and havg been timate wh other men.

And for those who will try to pat the homophobia as some sort of “historil accuracy, ” “Hoe of the Dragon” is a fictnal show set a world wh dragons and ice queer women of “Game of Thron” fared slightly better.

‘HOE OF THE DRAGON’ BEGS BURYG ITS GAYS

)For those who hoped that Laenor’s troductn might signal that “Hoe of the Dragon” had learned the same lsons about LGBTQ reprentatn as has Daenerys’ arc, Lonmouth’s ath is particularly troublg bee of the way evok the homophobic “panic” that has long been ed to try to fend vlence agast queer people. But the sequence still amounts to a man, after beg approached by a gay man who knows his secret, beatg the gay man to the first episo, the prequel seri has been clear that the misogyny of the Realm is a mark agast . It’s past time the anchise do the same wh homophobia.

And Brienne and Jaime have two of their bt scen together to date: his enunciatn of a cidly liberal (and entirely self-servg) philosophy of sexual eedom—straight, gay, twctual—and her rather persuasive dbbg of him on the bridge. " Margaery handl the suatn wh characteristic, savvy ference, and soon she's got her fger on Jofey's crossbow's trigger—an image that n be read as sexual, as Chris poted out, but also as an exprsn of the soon-to-be queen gettg a grip on the stments of "known generate" le strik me as the wrers tryg, perhaps clumsily, to work another theme to the episo: attus about homosexualy.

Jofey says he is nsirg makg homosexualy punishable by ath. Jofey is gay? But as we learned on Sunday’s “Game of Thron, ” he’s also a ragg homophobe, who has toyed wh the ia of makg gay sex punishable by ath.
