To spire you, we've llected a plete list of TV's hottt supernatural gay sex scen.

(Nearly all the homoerotic scen the show were dream sequenc). Evan Peters's crazy gay lnaire and his boy toy om Amerin Horror Story: Freak Show.

IS TE BLOOD ABOUT GAY RIGHTS? FAN THEORY DEBUNKED

In season 6 of the vampire melodrama, Jason Stackhoe had (yet another) homoerotic daydream -- this one about the vampire-fairy Warlow (Rob Kazsky). An tense homoerotic shavg scene wh a straight razor. Te Blood utilized "blood nnectns" to get more than a few homoerotic moments out of otherwise hetero characters.

But the ultimate one me Jason Stackhoe's dream (after fallg asleep a church pew) about the vampire Eric Northman (Alexanr Skarsgard) -- nsired by many fans to be the hottt gay sex scene of the show's n. The long-awaed gay anythg on Teen Wolf that fally happened wh Danny and Ethan.

Remember when gay vampire Lafayette got Jason to strip dance on mera? Eric (Alexanr Skarsgard) tells Talbot to turn over and mounts him the show's rather talked-about gay revenge murr. Wh so many bad exampl of gay relatnships on TV, both supernatural fare and otherwise, Tara and Willow's relatnship is seen by many as the one that got right.

Dandy and Andy Amerin Horror Story: Freak Show was the lnch of Fn Wtrock, who may never live down his role as Dandy, the cute, doted-upon mama's boy-turned-serial-killer ( other words, a signature Ryan Murphy creatn) his first night out as a bona fi killer, he hs a gay bar and lur gay htler Andy (Bomer) back to his shack the woods. It would be impossible to go through all the gay sex scen om The Lair, a sexed-up gay drama set the same world as Dante's Cove, but here's a steamy NSFW samplg. And all the gay on Teen Wolf.

So much reprsed, unspoken, agonizg gay. Hollywood needs to stroy the glass closet -- particularly now that the nt, sort-of left-leang world of Amerin entertament has an enemy Donald Tmp -- a monster the entertament world created -- and a lear-elect wh evint ti to Vladimir Put, who banned all visible reprentatn of homosexualy his untry. But some uld easily argue that the entire show is one long reprsed homoerotic urge.

Here's a n-through of Teen Wolf's gayt moments.

'TE BLOOD' CAN'T EVEN PANR TO ITS AUDIENCE CORRECTLY WH GAY DREAM HOOKUP

Take a look back at some of the gay sex dreams that have appeared on Te Blood, which, often feature Kwanten as the betiful season 6, Jason Stackhoe shared a sexy dream sequence after drkg the vae of the vampire-fairy Warlow, played by Rob Kazsky. Earlier the show's n, Jason received a surprise bedfellow the form of Eddie, a middle-aged gay vampire. And, of urse, there’s rint bisexual Pam and openly gay Lafayette, the latter of whom is now settled down wh J.

Te Blood returns for s seventh and fal season on June 22, and if the reports are to be believed, there's plenty of good reasons for gay fans to tune .

Below, check out a supercut of some of Te Blood's gayt scen. Is Te Blood About Gay Rights?

Te Blood, the popular HBO seri, had fans drawg parallels between vampire characters and gay rights, but creator Alan Ball refuted the claims. Dpe some obv parallels that have been drawn by fans of the seri, show creator Alan Ball sists that Te Blood isn’t an allegory for gay rights. In an article wh the New York Post, he said: “To look at the vampir on the show as metaphors for gays and lbians is so simple and so easy, that ’s kd of lazy.

” He also stated the allegory uld be “very homophobic bee vampir are dangero: They kill, they’re amoral.

SPOILER ALERT: TE BLOOD TURNS STRAIGHT CHARACTER GAY… BUT WHICH ONE?

The vampir the show have displayed qutnable moraly, which mak their symbolic pictn as gay people highly problematic. It's a disturbg scene which is ma worse if both characters, beg vampir, are an allegory for gay relatnships, regardls of how the show picts other upl.

Ball is right to say that drawg the parallels uld be “very homophobic bee vampir are dangero”, but he’s the one who put the ntent up on the screen for fans to sk their teeth to. The pot of that dream (aga, bis pleasg the fan base) was not that Jason is gay or has gay fantasi, bee we know that that's not te. Sam (Sam Trammell) and Bill (Stephen Moyer) share the same vampire-human nnectn that Jason and Eric do; theirs was the first time Te Blood went for the "hot gay hookup, oops!

TE BLOOD ACTORS ASK FOR SCENE TOGETHER, WRERS ANSWER WH GAY SEX DREAM

This is, sadly, par for the urse for Te Blood, a show that's nstantly praised as beg one of TV's gayt, but what do we get? We get wkg dream sequenc, we get sad gay csh, we get quickly-fotten lbian dallianc. And while most of the time that meant buckets of gloopy, blobby blood gettg dumped over everythg, other tim meant turng up the dial on thgs like gay sex, which while beg a b more faiar to ble TV dienc was still far om monplace.
