Selective Obliviousness: She's the only person who continues to deny that Renly is gay. Subverted in that she always knew, she just refused to let other people insult him.
It's not really portrayed as obliviousness, just an uneasy comeback. The one time she dismisses it as rumors happens because Jaime means it as an insult and she's not letting him get under her skin.
It's not a clear example at all, ambiguous at best, towards Not A Subversion.
This would be true for the books, where the stuff about Renly is much more subtle, TV!Brienne on the other hand is less naive and consistently shows much more savvyness and awareness.
