Despite being categorized as a grey character, House of the Dragon Episode 6 saw a massive shift with Daemon as he finally settles down in Pentos with Laena Valeryan, and two daughters, Baela and Rhaena. However, one scene from Pentos saw Daemon flirtatiously whispering in a male servant’s ear while grabbing his arm, which instantly sparked speculations about his sexuality.
Is Daemon Targaryen Bisexual?
Now, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment in House of the Dragon Episode 6 deleted scene was spotted by Out of Context House of the Dragon on Twitter. The scene highlights a more intimate moment between Daemon and the servant, appearing like they are kissing. Check out the tweet below:
In Geoge R.R. Martin’s source material, Fire & Blood, Daemon is the farthest character among many to being bisexual. In fact, the Targaryen Prince was married three times to three female wives and was obviously non-commital about the taboos in Westeros. In House of the Dragon, even his niece, Rhaenyra, wasn’t safe with Daemon’s seduction after he took her to a brothel where he was seen “coupling” with the princess. The brief clip showing Daemon barely intimate with the servant isn’t still countable as concrete evidence to assume his sexuality. If ever he is, this might jeopardize the Targaryen Prince’s claim to the Iron Throne, although he surely wouldn’t even bat an eye. For now, only time will tell whether Daemon is indeed bisexual and if it would be extensively explored in the next episodes of House of the Dragon. House of the Dragon is streaming on HBO Max.
