The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I've been openly gay for the past 5 years, however, I find myself being in the closet once again. this time, it's not because of my sexuality, and it's not because of my religion; rather, its because of my vampirism. Its not so much that I'm ashamed ofbeing a Vampyre, but actually a self preservation instinct.



Eureka is a painfully conservative community, composed of Conservative Christians, countless solitary practioners of pagan faiths, and cultural appropriationists. While you may be thinking that this doesn't sound too bad, the truth is that it causes an environment of judgment. What this community is lacking is Vampyres (or even anyone that understands that its not just a fad).



So, I find myself in hiding, trying to avoid the merciless judgments of this community. I frequently say things to the effect of "I'd rather have people hate me for who I am, than love me for who I'm not,," but the stigma (which still exists for our kind) is still very difficult to break through.

By some definitions "Vampyre" is considered predatory..



Are you asking for the herds acceptance? Or are you a predator?

Well, once again, I find myself beginning a new chapter in my life; the only difference is that it's within a book that I have been too nervous to open. I've come out as Gay, a Witch, and a Drag Performer, but my Psy Vampirism is something I've always kept private. We'll see how this goes! Wish me luck!

Trust me, kid. There are worse things than that. I should know. And besides, you wouldn't be alone, if you really think you don't know of any other Vampyres in that part of California.



I would be quite intrigued to learn more about you, is you care to open your mind a little bit. Depending upon what lies in there, you seem like you could be a pretty damn good addition to the Community of HTF. That is, if such a thing suits your taste.

I've added your journal, and added You as a friend, if you care to have a chat. Otherwise, just let me know, and I'll leave you be.
