The Dragon Keeper "Controversial?" Hobb and sexuality. *Major Spoilers up to RWC!

[Lord Punctual]

I don't know if it's fair to call the Kelsingra Expedition all that small of a group, either. after all, there were:

-12 Keepers
-3 Hunters
-5 Ship's Crew
-2 Bingtowners

So, that's 22 people, of which 4 are gay. That's 18 percent. So, that's a little higher than the "national average" - but these people were, after all, misfits - it's not like this was a random sampling of the Trehaug population.

Also, about the Keeper who ended up with Davvie, there is such thing as situational homosexuality. The women were, after all, all either taken or off limits.

And... Chalced? Hest, and Sedric are Bingtowners (although they spent a lot of time in Chalced on business) and Davvie, Carson, and the gay Dragon Keeper (hmm, I really should find his name) are all Rain Wilders. Unless you meant someone else? (Sorry to burst your Chalced bubble.)
