Disliking Twilight because it's "gay" is homophobic. I dislike it because 1) it's boring, 2) the vampires are lame (sparkles???), and 3) it's creepy, and not in a good way, in a scary stalker kind of way.

It's been a long time since I read Anne Rice, but one of the things that I remember about the vampires is they couldn't have sex. Of course, you don't need to have sex to be gay, but the impression I got was that vampires were so beyond human that they were also beyond our conventional ideas of sexuality, too. Also, vampires don't have many choices with who they get to hang out with for hundreds of years, and of course you're going to feel a close bond with the vampire who turned you, so....yeah, if they aren't gay, they're at least queer. Probably pan-sexual would be more accurate. But it's only emotional, because, again, vampires can't have sex. But, hey, they can drink blood, and the way blood-drinking is described it sounds better than sex, so there's that.
