True Blood's Vampires Not A Metaphor For Gays? - AfterElton.com
August/02/08 18:25 Filed in: Off-Site
Editor Michael Jensen looks are how vampires are portrayed in True Blood’s storylines and advertising in the August 1st edition of AferElton.com’s “Best. Gay. Week. Ever”:
“Included on the site (bloodcopy.com) are various clips of people protesting vampires rights (see picture at the very top), enraged citizens demanding vampires not be allowed to teach children, and folks expressing fear of vampires "recruiting" others into their lifestyle. Also found on the site are links to the AmericanVampireLeague, a vampire organization running ads supporting equality for all citizens that could've been whipped up by the Human Rights Campaign.
None of this is a problem, mind you. I'm just saying if True Blood isn't, in large part, a metaphor for being gay then I'm actually a straight guy totally into Pam Anderson.”

Starpulse Talks About True Blood: "Vampires: Why The Obsession?"
July/03/08 17:21 Filed in: Off-Site
Kathryn Sparks of Starpulse writes:
“All around us are stories of the paranormal and fairytale worlds. Recent big-screen films have focused on hidden doorways to far off places (Chronicles of Narnia), talented wizards (Harry Potter) and even a crafty kid with an animal spirit sidekick (The Golden Compass). We've been inundated with ghosts, goblins and, yes, vampires.
The recent cancellation of "Moonlight" caused outrage in fanboys and fangirls everywhere. Thousands of viewers signed petitions urging CBS to change its mind. Rumors circulated that another network may pick up the show for a second season, but that didn't happen. "Moonlight" bit the dust for good.
But as one series ends, another rises in its place. Alan Ball's upcoming series "True Blood" will air next season on HBO. Based on Charlaine Harris' "Southern Vampire" novels, "True Blood" is set in a small town in Louisiana. It's a humorous and horrific look at vampires and humans who are somehow able to coexist. The protagonist is a human named Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin) who winds up falling for a vampire named Bill (Stephen Moyer).
So what's the cause of our vampire obsession?”
