True Blood, Were Hear, We Drink Blood, Get Used to IT!

Alan Ball's, creator of Six Feet Under, new show has just premiered in the US. It's called True Blood and follows a race of vampires, who have made their existence public after years of living covertly and have been met with some familiar predigest.

The Vampires face the same struggles of all marginalized populations such as inequality in law, public disapproval and hatred, and so the comparisons between the plight of the Vampires and gay life are not too hard to spot.

They're made even easier by very witty gay-references such as the "God Hates Fangs" sign that appears in the show's opening sequence or "coming out of the coffin", a line uttered by Anna Paquin (Rouge from the X-Men), the show's lead star, in reference to the wooden door each Vampire must crash through to be an out-and-proud bloodsucker.
