Gay game of thrones characters

In the mystical land of Westeros, they’ve got everything — dragons, White Walkers, and a whole lot of gays. To celebrate the return of the HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, here is a review.

I had a friend complain that the show is super straight (or horrendous in its mistreatment of gay characters, like Loras and Renly), so I wanted to make a thorough list of LGBT characters, with quotes to prove a point. This page lists the confirmed and implied LGBT+ characters in A Song of Ice and Fire. For more information on the subject, see the page "Gender and sexuality".

HBO’s hit series Game of thrones is chock-a-block with dragons, white walkers and a whole lot of LGBT characters and scenes. It has some best and worst LGBT characters & scenes. Like many things that happen on Twitter, Game of Thrones discourse is quite tedious. While these views of the show and George R.

I watched the first episode alone, and then realizing there were books, read those first. Renly is given the grace of being able to have conversations with main characters like Catelyn Stark, but Loras remains in the background frowning like a piece of aged Ikea furniture. Later, Loras and Tywin Lannister walk into the throne room, claiming victory. No one shall ever find him there to disturb his rest.

I will give my life for him if need be. But I will never betray Renly, by word or deed. He was the king that should have been. He was the best of them. In the television adaptation, Jaime and Loras only speak once, despite serving as each other's parallels in the books.

In this discussion, they trade insults instead of wisdom, with Loras serving Jaime with a quippy goodbye typical of the show's later seasons. Yas queen! You give up your lands and titles, give up hope of marriage, children. What of love? Such a profound admission of love, coming from a man who is speaking about another man, was integral to my queer coming of age. The Loras who exists on the screen in Season 3 and 4 of Game of Thrones is the antithesis to this quote.

The most recent adaptation of George R. The show is filled with stellar acting, lots of dragons, and Matt Smith with a platinum blonde wig. While watching the fifth episode of the show, I was struck at how well the queer aspects in House of the Dragon seemed to be going. He then decides to attack Joffrey in a fit of rage, until all that remains of the younger man is gore that resembles a decimated animal.

Thank god he gets to speak with the typical Westerosi-sassy-gay cadence, before this though. Joffrey originally dies after receiving a mortal wound during a tourney, and instead is beaten until his face is unrecognizable. As for Loras, he is still technically alive in the books, body burnt apon Dragonstone, but holding on. On the other hand, Loras was written as a mirror of Jaime Lannister, and his relationship with Renly is a direct inspiration of the Achilles and Patroclus myth.

Unfortunately, George R. Instead, the writers of these adaptations chew their gay characters up and spit them out, leaving them discarded and ultimately, forgotten. It's really weird to be obsessed over characters sexuality to this degree. It's the same weirdness that ruined the community of My Hero Academia. Just pure cringe. Haha why are gay people obsessed with the sexuality of characters so much? To be honest, after first reading the novels, there is way more gayness in the series For example, there's a scene I found disturbing where Loras is shaving Renly's chest, cuts him, then gets on his knees to blow him.
