Is rhaenyra gay

Mysaria and Rhaenyra&#;s Kiss Is Not in the Books
No, George R.R. Martin hasn&#;t visualized Rhaenyra as a lesbian character in Conflagration and Blood. She was definitely shown close to the other female characters, including Alicent Hightower and Laena Velaryon, Daemon&#;s former wife. However, her sexual preferences are straight. Also, the scene that confused fans in Residence of the Dragon Season 2 isn&#;t recorded on the books&#; pages; instead, it was just created for the show.
Rhaenyra is going through a lot of mess in HOTD lately. Being an inexperienced combatant, she always needed someone to reference her. Following her father&#;s demise, she was getting support from Daemon and Rhaenys. However,
Rhaenyra's bisexuality fundamentally changes 'House of the Dragon'
Warning: Major spoilers ahead for season two, episode six of "House of the Dragon."
"House of the Dragon" has finally done it.
I'm not talking about unleashing dragon war. That was weeks ago, and yeah, it's cool, but we knew that was going to happen; it's in the book, after all. I'm also not talking about bringing back Paddy Considine to compete King Viserys in this week's episode, though that was a delightful and welcome surprise.
No, I'm talking about one of the biggest character questions that "House of the Dragon" has ever raised — and as of season two, episode six has now answered definitively.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is bisexual. Rhaenyra Targaryen is bisexual!!!!!!!
Toward the end of this week's episode, Rhaenyra and Mysaria own a heart-to-heart — one that, in the span of a few minutes, adds great depth to both of their characters. And at the finish of it, after a heartfelt-turned-sensual clasp, they kiss in an unscripted moment that fans possess been going savage over.

The personal history between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower is the main conflict of House of the Dragon, a deviant route from George R. R. Martin's book Fire & Blood. As their friendship bitterly fell apart and their rivalry became aggressive, both viewers and the younger actors of the characters opened up the possibility of Rhaenyra and Alicent having quixotic feelings for each other. The interpretation wasn't to tick a box, but to add a colorful nuance
Alicent and Rhaenyra on House of the Dragon Are Into Each OtherRight?
Warning: Property of the Dragon spoilers to follow.
When we sat down to watch the highly-anticipated House of the Dragon premiere on HBO, we expected "the usual" for anything in the Game of Thrones universe: violence; political intrigue; men freaking out about their (lack of) male heirs—and we got that stuff. But we also got a very pleasant surprise: OVERWHELMING QUEER VIBES—specifically, from Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her best friend Alicent Hightower, daughter of Hand of the King Otto Hightower.
