The surprise queer kiss on ‘House Of The Dragon’ has fans thirsting for more

A smash-hit adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy series, HBO’s Games Of Thrones had a nasty habit of punishing its LGBTQ+ characters.For a while there, it seemed like the currently airing House Of The Dragon was fine with following suit, “burying its gays” and all.
And that was especially surprising when you consider the prequel has a pretty queer-inclusive cast, including nonbinary actor Emma D’Arcy as its headlining star.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.But things just took a big gay turn in the second season’s most recent episode, when *gasp* Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (D’Arcy) shared a kiss with her longtime confidante Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno)!And, in an even bigger twist, both of them were still alive at episode’s end!rhaenyra and mysaria kissing good for them good for them pic.twitter.com/5AIQXxqoMjThe moment came amid the heated “Dance Of Dragons”, a.k.a.
