Loras Tyrell Deserved Better
In the aftermath of the Emmys, and with Kylie and Julia’s retrospectives now in complete swing, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and look back over the most recent season of Game of Thrones. It’s effortless to say that any given personality on that show deserves better. Whether from the horrible scripting or the in-universe treatment, it is always an accessible criticism. Loras Tyrell in particular suffered grievously at the hands of the writers, and of all the characters savaged by D&D’s idiocy I have yet to read an article about the pride of Highgarden. So here I am to enlighten you as to how thoroughly Loras was savaged because of the rampant Toxic Masculinity, Homophobia, and False-Ally-ism display in HBO’s dumpster fire.
To begin to understand how adv Loras was handled, it is necessary to remember his character in the books. Loras Tyrell is the youngest son of House Tyrell, and he is also one of the biggest badasses in Westeros. In tournaments Loras has unhorsed Jaime Lannister, who is called by many one of the greatest swordsmen alive, and Ser Gregor Clegane, the monstrous Mountain that Rides. The only person we have seen thrash Loras in a fig
Fans are up in arms about HBO’s treatment of a side character on 'Game of Thrones'
Warning: There are spoilers ahead if you are not caught up with "Game of Thrones."
It's no secret "Game of Thrones" deviated many times from the text in season five. We've seen this with Sansa's character and the extension of a fan favorite on screen. But there's one change from the text which has increasingly confused fans of the beloved book series this season.
Ser Loras Tyrell, the brother of Margaery and a accepted side character in "Game of Thrones," has been increasingly reduced to a caricature of homosexuality — and no one is sure why.
Loras was very subtly alluded to as being homosexual in the guide series, but it was so hush done that George R.R. Martin had to confirm the speculation. On the HBO adaptation, Loras' homosexuality is his most obvious trait.
In season five episode four, we saw the Faith Militant, a military branch of the Faith of the Seven, exercise their recently granted power by aggressively stamping out “sinful” behavior. They concluded their raid on King’s Landing with the arrest of Ser Loras, on charges of “perversion” in the form of lesbian

In the books Renly and Loras existence gay lovers was only alluded to, and known only by a handful of people. On the show, everyone in the Seven Kingdoms and their horse knows this, and spew an endless barrage of lowbrow queer jokes that I would’ve initiate beneath me as a teen.
I don’t get why Joffrey would openly insult Renly this way in front of the Tyrells, as it would remind ecerone of their duplicity. Then again, it was never established on the show, that when Renly’s armor appeared in the Battle of Blackwater, people thought it was his ghost, and Lannister/Tyrell propaganda spread the legend that his ghost had come to absolve his sin of treason by defending his King Joffrey at his most perilous hour from his murderous brother Stannis.
Lastly, they introduce a bisexual ethics and of course they contain him making eyes with the only established gay character. Sigh. As a guy who likes guys, this pandering featuring one token gay love scene per season needs to stop. Not as bad last season where they had Loras who had just lost his lifelong finest friend and lover instantly skip into bed with the first boy who sets off his gaydar and spill
Are Loras and Renly Gay?
Throughout the series, the reader is given an outside look at the association between Renly Baratheon and Loras Tyrell. While, at first glance, it seems that it is nothing but innocuous friendship, there are some clues to suggest that their cherish for each other goes beyond mere companionship. In fact, it seems likely that the two men may be gay lovers. The evidence comes only in small bits and pieces, but, when pieced together, paints an appealing picture.
I. THOUGHTS ON RENLY
Lots of rumors seems to circulate around Westeros concerning Renly. Let�s take a look at a few.
1) Margaery�s Maidenhood
Renly�s own brother seems to doubt his sexuality. From CoK, pg. 478, a conversation between Renly and Stannis:
�...I got Margaery. You�ll be pleased to know she came to me a maid.�
�In your bed she�s appreciate to die that way.�
This could be mindless sibling banter, but Stannis seems like an honest guy, and his words signal that Renly is less than infatuated with women. Mace Tyrell swears the Margaery is still a virigin when she marries Joffrey, so it appears that Stannis was repair in this.
2) Renly�s Servants
Tyrion hires some of Renl
