HOW "GAME OF THRON" ED LORAS TYRELL: HBO'S “GAY RTOON” IS SO MUCH MORE THE BOOKS
* loras tyrell gay *
This show will be screened untri where homosexualy is illegal, where women’s sexual choic are ntrolled and where trans inti are vlently subjugated. If ed those men were gay had a signifint effect upon history and has a somewhat signifint effect on the events my book … I wanted to clu the full range of humany, cludg the full range of sexual preferenc and sex is an important part of the books.
The first big gay relatnship is between Renly Baratheon and Loras Tyrell. Perhaps “gay for pay” exists Wteros too?
And the are homophobic tim. Vto Rso, the gay film cric, noted a trend some film reprentatn where the gay man is prented only to meet an unhappy, punishg and often fatal endg. But world where Bnei has jt joed the list of pariah natns that have the ath penalty for male homosexualy, a queer character’s murr might reasonably be argued to rry more ntemporary weight and ronance.
OP-ED: THE GAYS OF THRON
And the list of gay men that the show has killed weighs heavy. Mart wrote Loras as roundly as any other Wterosi man, but on HBO, he's jt Maergery's gay brother.
WHO IS FN JON OM “GAME OF THRON” AS CHARACTER LORAS TYRELL? IS HE GAY? HIS WIKI: NET WORTH, PARENTS, AFFAIR, SGLE, GIRLIEND
In the fourth episo of this "Game of Thron" season, Loras Tyrell was arrted by the Fah Milant for the crime of beg gay, and the reactn of the fandom was not very happy. On Redd’s "A Song of Ice and Fire" page, er ZMoser said that, as a gay man, “I'm offend, I'm disappoted, and I'm pissed” that the wrers of "Game of Thron" went for this plotle, and no ls than 1900 people chimed wh their agreement.
R Mart’s edor Jane Johnson got to the bate, tweetg that “I've never been happy that they ma him a gay rtoon the tv seri. In the first seasons, fans of "Game of Thron" and of the books were treated to a rather plex and three-dimensnal gay character — Season 1, Loras was a skilled knight and teen heartthrob, sure, but also an amb polician who prompted his lover Renly to try to seize the throne when Robert Baratheon died; Season 2, we saw Loras al wh the plited relatnship that ensued when his sister married his lover, we watched him wrtle wh grief when Renly was murred, and we saw Loras avenge Renly's ath by donng his armor to fight Stannis and his army at the Battle of Blackwater. If the Loras Season 3 and 4 had remaed a plex and growg character who also happened to be gay, then his arrt by the Fah Milant would have a lot more promise, and wouldn’t e off as a one-note plotle about a character’s sexualy.
To the extent that they have a social agenda, ’s kd of tertiary, and actually aimed at women rather than gay men — hence their arrt of Margaery and her Tyrell handmains for the liberte ways of the Reach, and the High Sparrow’s pronouncement that “all women are wantons at heart, given to g their wil and their bety to work their wills on men. Likewise, that same dience would probably not have much ntext for nflicts between state and church that al wh ntrol over ary and judicial power rather than culture war battl over abortn, evolutn and gay marriage. But most of HBO’s dience would be faiar wh fundamentalist movements that are volly homophobic — so to spice up the montage where the Fah Milant take over Kg’s Landg, to really unrle the scen of the holy warrrs breakg open we barrels and smashg the idols of foreign gods, show them gay-bashg male prostut and arrtg Loras Tyrell and they’ll get the picture.
