    You don’t have to add the “gay”, there is not and there cannot be any vampire literature that isn’t extremely gay.

      Counter point: Blade

      (Though it is debatable if he counts as literature)

        Early 2000s vampire stuff was not gay. Somehow, the gayness as taken over.

        Not a bad thing, just interesting.

          Twilight changed it. Vampires used to be ruthless killers. They turned them emo.

            Anne Rice did it waaaaay before Twilight was the wet dream in the author’s head. Even Dracula had crazy bitches in it. Sexual taboos are more freely explored in fiction, and the supernatural turns fiction up to 11.

              Nosferatu too, and the 1990s Dracula movie, it’s all got gay currents.

          I suspect it’s more just that 1990s gay men didn’t code themselves that much in the way of fashion.

          Some were swept up in grunge, others went normcore, many wanted a career so coded themselves around that.

          The Lost boys might equally be a bunch of California grunge gays, but that has no visual coding to it to be seen.

            Possible. A lot of 1990s gay men were very fabulous but I suppose plenty kept it more low key since it was less acceptable back then.

        I’m pretty sure if I was a dude I would still think vampire Kiefer Sutherland was extremely fuckable, regardless of general gender preferences. That sexy evil laugh… gives me chills just thinking about it.

          He was a very unique and cool looking young man. When he got older and started doing 24 I couldn’t believe that all the attitude, and all the coolness factor was gone.

          But to your point, when straight dudes think another dude is cool, or handsome, they don’t want to bone them. They want to be like them, or befriend them, or sometimes fight them. We don’t always make sense.

        All the same vampire stories have always been about same sex people feeling wrongful desires as the suck on each other’s necks. It’s a genre about being gay and or kinky.

    This is conservatives’ worst fear, especially for the weirdos who live on compounds or quiverfull movement crazies. The idea that they will produce a ton of kids who might end up thinking for themselves and writing gay vampire fiction scares these people to death.

        The only person I knew who was obsessed with Anne Rice came from an Uber Christian background and she is now a big leftie atheist. That’s just one person though so there’s probably tons of ultra conservatives who love reading about vampires docking or whatever.

                  Seriously though, reading about the relationship between Louis and Armand forced me to evaluate my preconceptions about homosexuality, and figure out how to be okay with it if I were going to continue liking those characters. So, I think that it did have an impact and started me along the path to growth and acceptance.

      I’d go one step further and say it’s nice. It’s nice to see someone enjoying a level of freedom and openness that’s almost been unheard of before, and it’s nice that his ancestors in part helped create it, whether intentionally approving of the results or not.

      That’s the thing about Western Liberal Democracy if it’s not free, it stops being Western Liberal Democracy. Part of the system is the freedom we have under it.
