Is jon snow gay

Jon Snow is bisexual, has a crush on Satin, and his first baby crush was on Jaime Lannister. Satin, they called him, even in the wool and mail and boiled leather of the Night's Watch; the name he'd gotten in the brothel where he'd been born and raised. Jon's comments about Satin just shows that Jon is not prejudiced or can overpass prejudices and he's ok with having a gay buddy like his daddy.

I guess he could be bisexual, most humans are more or less bisexual IMO but for now, the Jon/Satin is just a shipping joke. A variety of social patterns concerning gender and sexuality can be observed in the Known World of A Song of Ice and Fire. Modern terms such as "gay", "homosexual", or "LGBT" do not appear in the novels. Moreover, no analogous in-universe term has ever been introduced.

A fun vid discussing the theory that Jon and Satin have a secret thing going on. Jon Snow’s squire, a former prostitute. It can’t be confirmed whether he was actually gay or just had to sleep with men for money. I think the former is more likely, but shouldn’t assume. Was it said that Satin actually slept with men?. You follow the religion that you were brought into, a religion that watched idly as you were a child brought into prostitution.

Aight, I'm aware the queer rep in asoiaf is pretty eh for the most part. Sweets is cool, and Loras and Renly have a nice implied relationship but Dany and Cersei having gay sex scenes felt way more fetishized than actually meaningful representation, especially since neither character considers a romance with a woman.

Then again, it's been so long between books that times have literally changed and FnB seemed to have a ton of queer relationships so who knows. Ok, ok, so I've laundered my argument; we all know why we're really here. Jon Snow could be bisexual and that could be really important for the story. First and most obvious is that it's another parallel with Dany. Jon and Dany have had storylines that directly mirror each other, especially in books 3 and 5.

Dany is confirmed bisexual by the narrative, since she has regular sex with her handmaiden Irri, although because of her position of power over her, she tries to limit them. And, as already mentioned, she never gets to be romantically attracted to a woman. Maybe that's coming in future novels, who knows, but all that to say Dany and Jon mirroring each other on the bi front is not inconceivable, especially when you consider that there is already evidence for Jon being bi.

I'm sure most of you deep into this discourse? And if this story does go in the 'Irri' direction, Satin is definitely the candidate for Jon's male love interest. He's a former prostitute from Oldtown, which mirrors another of Dany's handmaids Doreah I think and he's Jon's steward, like Irri is to Dany. Other characters also seem to think that Satin has kinda slept his way up the ranks to being Jon's steward, confirming at least that this idea is in GRRM's head.

I wanna take a look at a few scenes and see how they could imply a future relationship between Jon and Satin.

A fun vid discussing the theory

Take a look at this fight scene between Jaime and Brienne I promise this is relevant. Brienne jumped back, parrying, but he followed, pressing the attack. No sooner did she turn one cut than the next was upon her. The swords kissed and sprang apart and kissed again. Jaime's blood was singing The dance went on. He pinned her against an oak, cursed as she slipped away, followed her through a shallow brook half choked with fallen leaves.

Steel rang, steel sang, steel screamed and sparked and scraped, and the woman was grunting like a sow at every crash, yet somehow he could not reach her. To me this scene has always read as implicitly foreshadowing Brienne and Jaime's future romance. Of course there is plenty more in the story as a whole that foreshadows Brienne and Jaime having a relationship, but I use this as an example because I want to point out how GRRM sometimes writes a fight scene as romantic and sexual foreshadowing, or at least that can be how some scenes are interpreted.

Now I want to look at the scene where Jon trains Satin. Satin jerked the shield up in time to catch the sword on its rim, and swung his own blade at Jon's ribs. But you need to put your body into it. Get your weight behind the steel and you'll do more damage than with arm strength alone. Come, try it again, drive at me, but keep the shield up or I'll ring your head like a bell.

This scene reads similarly to me.
