There really hasn't been that many. Lafayette, Jesus, Eddie (gay vamp from season 1), Russell and his husband (can't remember his name,
the one Eric killed) and now Steve (even though we all knew he was gay a LONG time ago). I don't think I'm forgetting any, but if I am let me know...and don't mention the two girls Jason got to make out, that was just girls being frisky
anyway, that's 5 out of 60+ characters that are important enough for wikipedia to list them. I know may more than 5 gay people in real life...*shrugs* just sayin'
also, in regards to the vampire characters. After CENTURIES you'd probably get bored just banging chicks and figure "Why not?" lol
