I re-read the first book before watching season one when I got it on Blu-Ray and I was specifically looking for hints of homosexuality because I had heard it was in the series. I finished the first book and came up with nothing beside Loras dressing as a bit of a fop.
This. And of all the deviations from the book, this is the one that annoyed me the most - HBO just wanting a broader audience at my expense. I also went back through the first book to see where the hints were, because we talked about it here on the boards following the first instance in season one.
Gameless (for now)
