The report also ced proment gay characters om h shows that premiered last season, cludg Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer), the gay high schooler on ‘Glee, ’ and Mchell (Jse Tyler Fergon) and Cameron (Eric Stontreet), the gay uple on ‘Morn Fay. ’ “The crease lbian, gay, and bisexual characters on prime-time televisn not only reflects the shift Amerin culture towards greater awarens and unrstandg of our muny, but also a new dtry standard that a growg number of creators and works are adoptg, ” GLAAD print Jarrett Barrs said a statement. “The recent cril and mercial succs of shows like ‘Morn Fay’ and ‘Glee’ clearly dite that mastream dienc embrace gay characters and want to see well-crafted stori about our liv.

” Intertgly, the promence of gay characters and storyl on ‘Te Blood’ -- where lbian vampire Pam (Krist Ber) was recently promoted to a seri regular -- has led to a lively bate among fans. Asked rears earlier this year whether was possible for anti-gay viewers to be a fan of the show.

The rt of n s back and bge-watch Te Blood, Teen Wolf, and Amerin Horror before the, there was Dante's Cove -- a full-on gay, steamy, wchy drama om the early 2000s (produced by the same pany that owns The Advote).

'TE BLOOD' ACTOR LE GRIM QU OVER GAY ROLE (REPORT)

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.

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.

IS TE BLOOD ABOUT GAY RIGHTS? FAN THEORY DEBUNKED

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.

TODAY TV HISTORY: ‘TE BLOOD’ GAVE US SOME GOOD GAY SEX AND VLENCE

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. Now, a new report claims those "differenc" stemmed om a gay plotle. Buzzfeed reports that Grim -- who prevly played Jam, the vampire boyiend of Jsi (Deborah Ann Woll) -- qu bee the Season 7 script of the vampire-centric HBO show clud a romance between his character and the openly gay Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis).

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

And yet, I will surely follow Sookie Stackhoe and Bill Compton to the end, as I’m sure many of my Facebook -watchers—almost all gay people—will do as well, for one simple reason: Dpe gog off the rails somewhere on the way to fairyland seasons ago, Te Blood remas one of the most pendably and grippgly queer shows on televisn. Sce s start, Te Blood has been wily unrstood as a kd of allegory for the gay rights stggle the Uned Stat.

As fahful gay viewers will tell you, though, attemptg to track the analogy closely is a fool’s errand. And, though Hot Wgs, the extra-dimensnal fairy nightclub, do remd me of certa Hell’s Kchen gay parti, nizens of such spac do not (ually) turn to gobl-like creatur when provoked. To be fair, Ball himself disuraged leral parisons early on: “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 said at a prs nference 2009.

“If you get really ser about , well, then the show uld be seen to be very homophobic bee vampir are dangero: They kill, they’re amoral.

'TE BLOOD'S' KEV ALEJANDRO 'LOV' PLAYG GAY ORRLY J

… I’m sure there’s a lot of people who are watchg Te Blood who are not pro–gay rights, but maybe that opened the door. While Ball’s fears regardg straights gettg the wrong ia about gay moraly om Te Blood is well-taken, the fact that the show allows s opprsed mory a range of fairly nuanced reprentatns, whether polil, moral, or otherwise, has always been the primary source of s appeal my timatn. There may be no pal-G gay agenda, but that don’t mean the HRC don’t have one of s own, and that’s the msage that most straight Amerins hear.

For s, gay advot had amed their arguments terms of equal rights and ernment benefs, often g rhetoric that was nontatnal (“We’re here, we’re queer, get ed to ”) and mandg (“We serve equal rights now! But when asked why they thought gay people wanted to marry, they ced rights and benefs.
