Yeah, that makes sense. I think its yet another example of people wanting to see something in WoT that RJ was not interested in telling, and then reading into its absence, attitudes that don't necessarily apply to Jordan. IDK what his views were on homosexuality, but sex isn't nearly as much of a priority for him as it was for a lot of his readers (it didn't help that he was middle-aged when writing the story, while most readers took it up in their adolescence). He cared more about relationships than about the physical aspects of them. It should suffice that he made his point by having the Maidens matter-of-factly allude to Seonid's sexuality, but people for whom homosexual equality is a pet issue wanted to wallow in it some more. It kind of reminds me how Cracked.com writers keep harping on the Marvel movies failing to address their notion that Thor & Loki should stand the religion discussion on its head, completely overlooking that Avengers dismissed that whole point with a single line, where Captain America simply blows off Loki's assertion of his divinity, saying "You're not my God." It might be important to certain fans, but it's not what the story is about, so shut up.
