I totally didn't get "gay relationships end in tragedy" from TWS. Frankly, it's realistic for a gay couple having sex outside their relationship in NY in the 1980s to end up with one or both of them dying from AIDS. I know that enough of our family friends did. And you know how much I love TWS.
I think the problem with JK is the old "tragedy" chestnut, and again with the "I do not think it means what you think it means". It seems like she is using it in the traditional literary sense (i.e., The Tragedy Of Macbeth) rather than the modern sense (i.e., The Tragedy Of A Senseless Accident).
