GAME OF THRON AUTHOR EXPLAS WHY THERE'S NO GAY SEX HIS BOOKS

There is plenty of sex — gay and straight — the Game of Thron TV show. Mart hasn’t clud any gay sex scen his Song of Ice and Fire seri upon which Game of Thron is based. None of the viewpot characters are gay, so Mart hasn’t shown any gay sex scen om their pots of view.

Of urse, one thg to keep md is that our morn lexin of sexualy wouldn't have been translated to the world of Game of Thron, so intifitn via labels like "gay" and "lbian" wasn't available to the characters. What plac Loras at the bottom of the list is the fact that his whole character is fed by harmful gay stereotyp, pecially nsirg he (and Renly) were the first LGBTQ+ characters Game of Thron we were troduced to. As a stark ntrast of gay reprentatn to Loras, Renly serv to portray a very different LGBTQ+ experience for the viewers to potentially relate to on Game on Thron.

Unfortunately, even the unadulterated hotns of Natalie Dormer uldn't save this sex scene, sce Renly was gay and not to even the objectively sexit of ladi. Loras and RenlyWhile Game of Thron don't have nearly as much male nudy as do female, they've featured several gay sex scen—like this oral sex scene between Loras and Renly.

‘GAME OF THRON’ ACTOR OUT AS GAY

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. )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.

It’s past time the anchise do the same wh homophobia. 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.

"MORE PENIS THAN GAME OF THRON" - AMERIN GODS' GAY GENIE SEX SCENE IS GETTG A LOT OF LOVE

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.
