Mart wrote Loras as roundly as any other Wterosi man, but on HBO, he's jt Maergery's gay brother. 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.

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.
