ANNE RICE AND HER HOMOEROTIC VAMPIR LEFT AN IMMORTAL MARK ON GAY CULTURE
* the vampire lestat gay *
Not unlike the way I uld’ve sworn that “Berensta Bears” was spelled wh a third “e,” I totally believed that prev rnatns of Interview wh the Vampire — both Anne Rice’s origal 1976 novel and the 1994 movie adaptatn — were explicly about gay vampir.
But more than that, they seemed to embody the ethos “be gay, do crime,” a not-always-so-leral exhortatn to live a queer life fiance.
But the homoeroticism was all subtext. AMC’s Interview wh the Vampire, an updated, grisly, and often mordantly hilar retellg of the origal story pulls gay subtext to the ma text, givg a fancy vampire lookg for a longtime pann.

AMC have dropped their new TV adaptatn of Interview Wh The Vampire based on the novel by Anne Rice and is gay as hell. * the vampire lestat gay *
And tellg their story, Interview creat an embolned mentary about how sexualy, race, inty, power, and opprsn are all tertwed, and how the forc have throughout Amerin history left the magnificently queer vampir (and many others) wh no choice but to be extremely gay and do so, so many crim.
In Interview wh the Vampire, gay vampir get lonely, too.
Logilly, gay vampir make a ton of sense. Vampir don’t partake racism, sexism, and homophobia bee all of humany is beneath them, let alone humany’s awful hangups.
INTERVIEW WH A VAMPIRE REBOOT WILL EMBRACE THE BOOKS' GAY SUBTEXT
But vampir probably, as Ltat also monstrat, aren’t gog to let racism or homophobia gui their sire. It’s hard for some of them to prehend the ia of two men together — not unlike the way history turns gay and lbian lovers to “roommat” or “bt iends.”.
Come to thk of , Interview is a lot like Frasier, a show that’s also about two sufferable gay men whose fancy tast annoy and threaten the people around them. If they found out he was gay, his life would be danger. When Ltat shows up, all fancy and charmg and gay, his offer of vampiric immortaly is much more than an eternal life of queer pannship.
Be gay, do crim! Part of me hope Louis, who is a 100-year-old queer vampire, got to hear Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” on a dance floor full of flagrant homosexuals.
INTERVIEW WH THE VAMPIRE IS BEG REMA BUT MORE GAY
Daniel isn’t gay.
It turns out that beg a gay vampire and dog crime isn’t ial, but allows Louis to be closer to who he tly is — much more than the human world would ever allow him to be. While she will first and foremost be remembered as an inic wrer of gothic horror — most notably for her Vampire Chronicl seri — her advocy for LGBTQ rights and steadfast support of her enthiastic, gay fan base would bee an sential part of her legacy. Her son, Christopher Rice, who is gay and is himself an acplished wrer, shared the news of his mother’s passg on her Facebook page.
