Counter point: Blade
(Though it is debatable if he counts as literature)
Oh yeah there's nothing homoerotic about Blade
Wym Blade makes boys gay, that counts as gay literature
He cameoed on WWDITS, so he easily fits under the gay umbrella.
Early 2000s vampire stuff was not gay. Somehow, the gayness as taken over.
Not a bad thing, just interesting.
Twilight changed it. Vampires used to be ruthless killers. They turned them emo.
Anne Rice did it waaaaay before Twilight was the wet dream in the author's head. Even Dracula had crazy bitches in it. Sexual taboos are more freely explored in fiction, and the supernatural turns fiction up to 11.
Nosferatu too, and the 1990s Dracula movie, it's all got gay currents.
I suspect it's more just that 1990s gay men didn't code themselves that much in the way of fashion.
Some were swept up in grunge, others went normcore, many wanted a career so coded themselves around that.
The Lost boys might equally be a bunch of California grunge gays, but that has no visual coding to it to be seen.
Possible. A lot of 1990s gay men were very fabulous but I suppose plenty kept it more low key since it was less acceptable back then.
