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?

GAY BROADSTER ERIC BACH ADVOT FOR MORE LGBTQ REPRENTATN BASEBALL

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.

JAGUARS ACH OUT AS GAY A FIRST FOR U.S.-BASED PRO LEAGU

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.

Born and raised Stockholm, the actor says he never unrstood why kids would tease each other about beg gay, bee he had always looked up to his gay uncle (brother of Good Will Huntg actor Stellan Skarsgard), who is also his godfather. Regardg his two steamy gay sex scen on the seri, the actor says "they're credible scen. '"The Swe then teased that the next time he do somethg gay will probably be "next time I get dnk.

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.
