HOW "GAME OF THRON" ED LORAS TYRELL: HBO'S “GAY RTOON” IS SO MUCH MORE THE BOOKS
As I don't have the time to look through all the foms and search didn't e up wh anythg good, I'll jt go ahead and start a whole topic about . In the TV seri Loras and Renly are very explicly gay and affect the urse of the story a lot. I started readg the books after the se... * renly baratheon gay in books *
Unbeknownst to the realm at large, and spe the many women who are attracted to him, Renly is homosexual.
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. It was HBO's own "look, we have a gay uple"-moment. This show will be screened untri where homosexualy is illegal, where women’s sexual choic are ntrolled and where trans inti are vlently subjugated.
Gee R.R. Mart wrote Loras as roundly as any other Wterosi man, but on HBO, he's jt Maergery's gay brother * renly baratheon gay in books *
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.
