True Blood Gets Gayer with Vampire King of Mississippi

True Blood just keeps getting gayer. Last season Evan Rachel Wood's lesbian vampire queen turned up deep in the bayou playing sexual power games and Scrabble and this season, Alan Ball's vampiric brain child introduces the vampire king of Mississippi. Openly gay actor Denis O'Hare, who has previously played the seething homophobe Senator John Briggs in Milk and an ideologically evil phychiatrist in the Angelina Jolie vehicle Changeling, will don the fangs of Russell Edgington in True Blood.
