>>Ah, yes, the vampire genre, being introduced to kids younger and younger...

I had a gay friend back in the early 1990’s when the “cool vampire” genre was first getting started and he explained to me that the “cool vampire” is about homo-eroticism. I forget the whole explanation (because he was working on a Masters in Psychology and he could spin some long-winded explanations), but it really did make sense. As the vampires kept getting more and more androgynous, it became even more apparent.

I think Bram Stoker and Count Dracula would disagree with your friends’ assessment.

Vampires should never be ‘androgynous’. And they shouldn’t ‘sparkle’ (I detest the Twilight series).

Sodomy is a part of Satanism/Luciferean occult. It is the ultimate mocking of God’s Design of the human body (Judeo-Christian Ethics)-——reducing the life-generating organ to fecal material. It is the ultimate dehumanization.

Back when Bram Stoker wrote Dracula, vampires were animalistic. Stoker’s villain was described as having “pantherlike” movements in one passage, and in another having a cold “lion-like” stare in another (both in Chapter 23).
