“Is Edward Gay?” And other things Guys say about Twilight…
Posted by unintendedchoice on September 2nd, 2011
I’m back from a business trip to Kansas City (Did I even narrate you I was gone?) and Operarose shares a hilarious story with us today!
Dear Breaking Dawn,
My husband is perhaps the only person in the existence who does not know what’s between your covers. I know you might be surprised that there’s someone out there whose heart isn’t palpitating in anticipation of the impending magicness of the Robst-I denote , Bella and Edward wedding and subsequent deflowering that results in a precious birth scene followed by the “Sequence In Which Taylor Lautner’s Career Will Likely End,” but as a PhD student in industrial engineering, Mr. Operarose is far more likely to possess his nose buried in a manual on Pierce-Smith Converting than the tale on Bella Converting into an Anorexic Vampire.
That’s not to say he’s a complete Twilight virgin. Mr. Operarose was introduced to Twiworld back in 2009, accompanying me to New Moon when the only people in the planet I felt “safe” seeing it with were busy. To my shock, a few days later he requested to watch Twilight and later

Or: Vampires and Homoeroticism: A Case Study of Dracula and Twilight
Yesterday, the 8th of November, was Bram Stoker’s 165th birthday (as the Google doodle informed us all). I personally decided to observe with one of my favorite pastimes… queering classic literature! As an added bonus, I’m going to show how this connects back to Twilight and why this ultimately proves that Edward and Jacob are totally lgbtq+ for each other. Let slashers everywhere rejoice!
Dracula: The Female Body as a Surrogate
It’s no confidential that Victorian literature is riddled with homoeroticism. Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula, is no exception. Arthur, Quincey, and John’s constant praise of one another would inspire cries of “No homo!” amongst modern bros. But, after all, the Victorian era was a time when men were expected to do everything together… except acquire sex.
What are three manly friends in a homoerotic friendship to do in order to show their love? All fall in affection with the alike woman, of course! Lucy becomes the vessel for them to consummate their bro love. As Lucy begins to fall ill to vampirism, the three friend
Could a gay "Twilight" be in the works?
The concept of Edward Cullen engaging in a same-sex adoration might break a scant teenage girls' hearts, but that's exactly what series star Robert Pattinson hinted at during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres ahead of "Breaking Dawn Part 2," which is released Nov. 16. After co-star Taylor Lautner pointed out the blockbuster movies acquire now covered all four of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" books, Pattinson said he'd be willing to signal on for another installment -- with a twist.
"I was also thinking another way to do it would be to build it look like 'Will and Grace,' where Edward turns gay," Pattinson joked to DeGeneres. Still, don't exact sparks to zoom between Edward (Pattinson) and teen werewolf Jacob (Lautner) anytime soon -- as Pattinson explained, Edward would "stay together" with Bella (Kristen Stewart) in his version.
"They raise the kid and everything," he explained.
Though it's unlikely this version of "Twilight" would ever hit the big screen, it wouldn't be the first second the 26-year-old Pattinson has played gay. His 2008 film "Little Ashes" featured a number of steamy, man-on-man love scenes with co-star Javier Beltran.
Kristen Stewart Explains Why Twilight Is A Queer-Coded Movie
She got a lot of flak for the melodramatic Twilight saga at the time, but the actually amazing Kristen Stewart is seemingly revisiting that insanely popular vampire series with a fresh perspective: namely, that Twilight is "such a gay movie."
A then-teenaged Stewart, of course, became a household designate after starring as Bella Swan in the five-film romantic fantasy franchise, opposite her co-star and famous ex Robert Pattinson as hunky vamp Edward Cullen.
And while the now-adult actress has definitely put her "young and stupid" Twilight days of swooning over sparkly vampire skin far behind her where career is concerned—Stewart snagged the prestigious César Award for her work in Clouds of Sils Maria and earned an Oscar nomination for her acclaimed performance as the late Princess Diana in Spencer—she did recently acknowledge Twilight's surprising "gay inclinations" during an interview with Variety:
You may likeI can only see it now. I don’t think it necessarily started off that way, but I also think that the reality that I was there at all, it was percolating. It’
