During the Rain Wild Chronicles I found myself torn between my Christian beliefs and the emotional connection I felt with the gay characters. However, I've come to a happy conclusion...
Why would I have a problem reading about gay relationships when I am willing to read about murderers and rapists and have no conflict about it? The Bible is clear that no sin is greater than any other sin, so I only assume that my calloused mind has a tolerance for murder whereas homosexuality is a problem... That's hypocritical of me.
So with that, I want to take back any complaints I've ever made about the gay characters in Hobb's books. After all, who am I to judge FICTIONAL characters. That's ridiculous.
