Had they taken the approach of "add in a bunch of sex scenes vaguelly alluded to in the book, except the gay ones" I'd be much more disappointed with the show.

That scene's actually what made me stop watching the show and switch to the books. Not because of the gay thing, but because I had no idea who this guy Loras was talking to was, he was obviously someone important I was supposed to know, and thus the show wasn't a very good look into the story, and best watched as an adaptation.
