HOW "GAME OF THRON" ED LORAS TYRELL: HBO'S “GAY RTOON” IS SO MUCH MORE THE BOOKS

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. 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. Part of me thks that perhaps they thought open displays of misogyny by the Fah Milant wouldn’t actually bother their dience as much as open displays of homophobia.

[14] Acrdg to a semi-non source, Loras is homosexual, [16] and his father, Mace, and grandmother, Olenna, are aware of his sexualy. While Mart probably didn't worry much about stupid thgs like "g ntroversy", the fact still remas that the (if I remember rrectly) only two major gay characters the seri only had their relatnship revealed via hts and mours, while for example Dany's and Cersei's lbian enunters were a lot more proment (even moro that they had ls importance to the plot). It follows the nventnal morn fantasy blueprt: Heterosexual sex is great and we should see , lbian sex is great and we should see , and gay sex is of urse also great (we are not discrimatory or anythg, right?
The paragon of stupidy would be Dumbledor, who was randomly clared gay after the seri had end so that Rowlg uld claim she also wrote non-heterosexual characters, but I I was rather partial toward this beg openly stated and explicely shown (still ls explic than other sex scen, but okay) the the other hand, seemed a b attentn-grabbg as well.
