I have never actually thought of that, that some men value affection more than others, and how Renly's life has been severely lacking in it. Considering that he almost never knew his parents, if I remember the timeline correctly, AND considering what he had for brothers.

If I can stop LOLing for a moment about Loras' impressive sword skills, - wait, BAHAHAHAAHA again - Gethin makes an excellent point. He doesn't discuss this relationship as gay at all! He explains why one person likes another person - they are pretty and they can do cool things.

Oooh you are the second person to make a welcome post <3. TEMPTING.
