There couldn't be any more lesbians. Pretty much every female character in the books sleeps with other women. Not explicitly, but it's heavily implied.
Jordan really went with the Spaghetti approach for women's sexuality: Straight until wet.
But I don't see the wisdom or profit in highlighting it in the TV adaptation rather than just keeping it heavily implied.
Jordan was a Freemason: religious and quite conservative. He steered clear of openly portraying any sexuality in his books. He was also obsessed with women. I'm still not sure if all of the women in his books were portrayed as entitled, manipulative, controlling shrews in order to villainize them, or if he genuinely wanted the audience to like those characters. Either way, his fixation on "pillow friends" and corporal punishment regarding his female characters speaks to something else buried deep in his psyche, I'd say.
Sounds dreadful. Why are we so concerned about them ruining something that's already shit?
Wow Imp, are you sure you're not a woman?
