Take a Walk Down a Vampire-Filled Memory Lane with Our Top 50 True Blood Moments

45. Gay Vampire American

Steve Newlin shows up at Jason’s house and professes his love for Jason. Steve doesn’t care about Jason sleeping with Sarah at the Fellowship of the Sun. That’s all in the past. What really hurt him is that Sarah got to sleep with Jason and Steve didn’t.

All of Steve’s confused feelings led him to the violence that Jason experienced at the Fellowship of the Sun camp. “I’m a gay vampire American,” Steve says, “and I love you, Jason Stackhouse.” It’s a classic Jason scene. Jason would be more upset that his Bon Temps High School football record is about to fall rather than be concerned that Steve Newlin is attracted to him. He tells Steve that he’s flattered and that it was the “nicest I love you from any male, female, or otherwise … but this dog don’t bark that way.”

Crushed by Jason’s rejection, Steve tries to force Jason to change his mind when Jessica bursts in.  Jason is hers, she says, and given that she’s older than Steve and she’s also the progeny of the King of Louisiana (she’s practically the Queen!), Steve must cede to her authority. He leaves, and Jessica flashes her red lingerie at the befuddled Jason, who is still reeling from all of the excitement.
