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. Ever since the Greeks first told the tale of Persephone returning from the Underworld, spring is generally seen as a time of hope, rebirth, and renewal. But for at least 8 million viewers in the U. For the fantasy fan, spring is simply the season of Game of Thrones.
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. House Martell has Oberyn Martell, iconic bisexual, Ellaria Sand, his iconic bisexual girlfriend, and Nymeria Sand, his gay daughter who is sleeping with a pair of identical female twins. House Tyrell gets such a high ranking for three very important reasons. One, it is the useless flower house whose symbol is a rose, ancestor is called Garth the Gardner, and castle is called Highgarden.
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". This HBO original revolves around the noble houses of Westeros and their struggle for power and the hold of the ever-coveted Iron Throne. The series brought record viewership to HBO and was subject to a great deal of critical praise for the overall quality of the series. Between the acting, the complex story, and the production value, the series earned a total of 59 Primetime Emmy Awards per Harper's Bazaar.
