True Blood Folks Battle Bullying
Edited on Wed Jul-27-11 04:48 PM by William769
Alan Ball and cast members of True Blood, HBO's mesmerizing supernatural series and considered the most LGBT-inclusive show on television, have filmed videos to help prevent suicide of bullied LGBT teenagers.

Alexander Skarsgard, who plays the sometimes sexually ambiguous vampire Eric, encourages parents to lead by example. "We have to teach our children...that every single human being has equal value..." Skarsgard says. "To discriminate against someone because they have a different sexual orientation is unacceptable.

when Eric needs to kill somebody.

However there are quite a few gay/bi characters on True Blood. Personally I like Pam although I'm HOT for Sookie who's straight.

I'd posted a poll about "If Obama Was On True Blood Which Character Would He Be?":
