^^ They are actually gay in the books. We never get either of their points of view (nor Renly's later wife IIRC), and it's never outright spoken, but just hinted at with snide comments about Renly's lack of children/surprise that he's managed to do anything with a wife. I suspect that Renly's Rainbow Guard was also a not so subtle hint. GRRM basically just gave them the go ahead to make it blatant and official rather than hinted at.
Loras is similar, he's quite a good knight, but young and utterly devoted to Renly when we see him later. He's just mostly sneered at for being young, although the suspicions/knowledge of his orientation might have had an effect.
