I guess even a guy that does the right thing has to have his one flaw? Perhaps that's what the HBO folks were thinking?

May well be, but I missed it.
I re-read the series after season 1 and even though I was looking for hints about Renly and Loras I didn't really see anything that would point to that. Things that in hindsight you could make fit, but nothing that made me wonder why I didn't see it the first time.
So I guess I can be pretty oblivious to some of Martin's hints, but it just didn't seem to fit with the character of Stannis I thought I knew.
