It seems anti-progressive to have a gay character who is overtly defined by the fact he is gay.'
'This is equally disappointing and confusing on several levels. 'The show has created a narrative where Loras is arrested for being gay - a plot that does not exist in the written series,' Kim Renfro wrote for Business Insider. However, neither the Loras storyline nor the sect's disdain for homosexuality exists in the novels. In the show, the Sparrows find homosexuality sinful and punishable.
Loras' role in season five functioned solely through the show's introduction of a religious sect called the Sparrows. However, the show's been criticized for its use of Loras, who was depicted as a skillful knight but has since been thrown on the series' back burner. Another notable character is Loras Tyrell ( Finn Jones), who serves as Renly's love interest before the would-be king is killed. Of note, the show featured Renly Baratheon ( Gethin Anthony), one of the Baratheon brothers who claims to be the rightful heir to the throne after Ned Stark ( Sean Bean) reveals that Joffrey Baratheon ( Jack Gleeson) was the product of incest.
As such, it's not surprising that the HBO series and its large cast has introduced gay characters on-screen, mostly adapted from the books. Game of Thrones : The world of Westeros is a wide-ranging one, with several cultures and religions depicted throughout the fantasy epic based on the George R.R.
