It struck me as odd that Jamie was so anti-gay in this book, compared to, say, how he was in Outlander when talking about Sandringham's attempts to woo him. All I can figure is that it's some degree of PTSD due to Randall, and perhaps John does a good job in helping Jamie in learning that it was a particular bad man, not all gay men in general, who was the problem. <nt> -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: kgp 's message, "For Jamie I would imagine John bringing thisup is evidence of how far more advanced civilization has come that a band of sodomites is no longer acceptable. John is taking it as vindication though." on 05:02:14 11/20/07 Tue

Replies:

When Jamie was talking of Sandringham it was in the context of manly commeraderie and Sandringham had no power over him. Both John and Jack have positions of power and Jamie is more or less at their mercy. I agree that his reaction to John is due to his PTS from Wentworth. How could he not carry over that revulsion?
