Personally I thought making Ethenielle's Sword Bearer gay fit perfectly into why she hadn't married him without being "token".
I never thought there needed to be an overt statement about there being homosexual men in the series. Seemed rather obvious that with all the lesbians that there would be gay men as well. I was always more bothered by the vilification of most of the lesbian characters in the books. The two women who were the most overt lesbians were Galina and Elaida ... I'm fairly certain lesbians aren't all mean as snakes.

Political correctness, at its best.

That you're offended at gay people for having the temerity to exist is hilarious.

Nothing she said indicated that; she only objected to throwaway characters for the sake of gayness.

That you jump to the conclusion that I'm offended by gay characters is both laugable and sad...

Narishma would've been perfect, and would've made sense...

Why would Narishma be a good gay character?

Culture plays a role in how people see homosexuals, not in there being homosexuals

I didn't say anything about that. I said that culture plays a role in determining sexual expression.
