Six Unforgettable Gay Moments From ‘True Blood’

BY BOBBY HANKINSON

It’s no secret that HBO’s True Blood has built a solid gay fan base. Yes, there are parallels between the vampires' quest for civil rights and the current climate for LGBT Americans. But, beyond that, the over-the-top series serves up plenty of action with an abundance of beefcake. Don’t let the vampires, werewolves and witches fool you; this series is not for kids.

In honor of the sixth season premiere Sunday on HBO, we’ve rounded up six of our favorite gay moments from the show’s previous seasons.

More, AFTER THE JUMP…

Lafayetteburger
Lafayette Shuts Down Homophobic Customers

Before he got that boring boyfriend, we loved Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) for standing up for himself when someone returned a burger he cooked because it “might have AIDS.”  Watch the clip here.

 

Jasondance
Jason Dances For Lafayette

True Blood must’ve saved a ton of money on wardrobe for Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten) in the early seasons, because the boy was hardly every clothed. In this scene, we see him dancing in his underwear in exchange for some hallucinogenic vampire blood. Watch the clip here.

 

Alcideeric
Eric and Alcide’s Nude Standoff

The arrival of Alcide (Joe Manganiello) really upped the hunk quotient in Bon Temps. Here, Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) and Alcide try to establish their dominance in hopes of winning over Sookie. Watch the clip here.

 

Billsam
Bill and Sam’s Shower Fantasy

Maybe it was just that pesky vampire blood wearing off, but shape-shifting barkeep Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) had Bill (Stephen Moyer) on the brain when he dreamt up this scene. Watch the clip here.

 

Hoytjason
Hoyt Appears In Jason’s Dream

Jason probably shouldn’t have been fantasizing about his best friend’s girl in the first place. However, we didn’t find the idea of Hoyt (Jim Parrack) hooking up with Jason all that nightmarish. Watch the clip here.

 

Erictalbot

Eric Seduces Talbot

It didn’t end very well for Talbot (Theo Alexander), but True Blood’s most explicit man-on-man scene to date certainly steamed up our TV sets. Watch the clip here.

What are your favorite moments in the series so far?
