** Most of the male vampires in season 1 are same-sex attracted -- Lestat, Louis, Armand. It's somewhat a JustifiedTrope when paired with ILoveYouVampireSon. Immortality can be lonely, so most vampires want a companion. If -- just by chance -- you have one vampire who's a queer man, he may intentionally turn other queer men into vampires for romantic purposes. Bisexual Lestat seduces gay Louis and turns him specifically so they can be vampire husbands sharing EternalLove.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': GenderInvertedTrope -- nearly all the male vampires in Season 1 are attracted men. Louis de Pointe du Lac is gay and was turned by the bisexual vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, who had seduced him previously. Armand is also revealed as queer: he's in a same-sex relationship with Louis. Inversely, the one significant female vampire in the story (Claudia) is straight.

In the works of some authors the GenderFlip version of this trope (i.e., male vampires attracted to other males) does exist; typically, they are bisexual rather than exclusively same-sex attracted.

* In ''VideoGame/SaGaFrontier'', Asellus is turned into one of the Mystics, a race which is basically [[OurVampiresAreDifferent a shade of vampire.]] Her sire, Orlouge, is a {{Horny Devil|s}} par excellence, and later Asellus ends up in a relationship with one of his "princesses". Unusually, Asellus is the protagonist of her short.

A SubTrope of DiscountLesbians, and often overlaps with PsychoLesbian. For other non-mortals who have tendency not to be straight, see ImmortalityBisexuality. See also LiteralManeater (for a female monster that preys on ''men''), HornyDevils, and HemoErotic. Given this trope, it may not come as a surprise that there is an entire vampire {{Yuri}} subgenre.

* ''Manga/{{Vassalord}}'': [[SpearCounterpart Gender swapped]] with main characters Rayflo and Charles, and played [[JustForPun straight]] with Rayfell and Cheryl. GenderBender [[HornyDevils Barry]] also counts, if s/he counts as "undead".

* Sarah from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' pictures herself as one while pondering what kind of deck to build during a card game tournament... complete with flirting with herself.

* The 1972 Spanish film ''Film/TheBloodSpatteredBride'' is a [[InNameOnly very loose]] [[FilmOfTheBook adaptation]] of ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}''.

The lesbian vampire is an [[OlderThanRadio old trope]], stretching back to Creator/SamuelTaylorColeridge's 1797-1816 unfinished EpicPoem [[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43971/christabel "Christabel"]] and the 1872 novella ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' by Sheridan Le Fanu. However, it didn't return into popular consciousness until the 1970s, when Film/HammerHorror made numerous films in which voluptuous countesses nibbled nubile young women. Since then, lesbian vampires are a dime a dozen, popular because they add an [[GirlOnGirlIsHot extra layer of titillation]] to an already heavily sexualised mythological creature.

The lesbian vampire is an [[OlderThanRadio old trope]], stretching back to Creator/SamuelTaylorColeridge's late 18th-early 19th century unfinished EpicPoem [[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43971/christabel "Christabel"]] and the 1872 novella ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' by Sheridan Le Fanu, which heavily inspired Creator/BramStoker's rather more famous ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''. However, it didn't return into popular consciousness until the 1970s, when Film/HammerHorror made numerous films in which voluptuous countesses nibbled nubile young women. Since then, the trope has become a common enough setting for a number of female vampires, adding an extra layer of titillation to an already heavily sexualised mythological creature. That is unless a dude for whatever reason (e.g. being gay) is not as prone to [[GirlOnGirlIsHot fetishizing female homosexuality]] as his fellows, considering that young males are the demographic this trope is typically aimed at.

A variation on the lesbian vampire, particularly in pornography and films aimed at the young male demographic, is the female victim who is seduced and converted by a vampire and--either during the process of her seduction or after being transformed--begins to find women sexually attractive. This is sometimes explained as the vampire warping her mind so that she can become one of his harem, but usually, it is assumed that as soon as a woman joins the ranks of the undead, she immediately starts playing for both teams--such is the power of this trope.

This can result in UnfortunateImplications, specifically the idea that [[PsychoLesbian lesbianism]] or [[DepravedBisexual bisexuality]] is the result of a corruptive and malign influence, representative of moral decay. And if a female victim is transformed by a female vampire, it carries the implication that lesbian women are predatory and waiting to ensnare and "convert" hapless heterosexual women. This ''can'' be presented as a positive or at least neutral thing however, such as becoming a vampire meaning that you're no longer bound to puritanical notions of sexuality that are often a part of human life, or can provide a convenient fantasy outlet. If you're going to be seduced by sexy minions of the night, no one will blame you for ''enjoying'' it, right?

In the works of some authors the GenderFlip version of this trope (i.e., male vampires attracted to other males) does exist; typically, they (like standard-issue female "lesbian" vampires) are bisexual rather than exclusively same-sex attracted.

* In the ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' fanfic [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21444019 Halloweenie]], Akko accidentally turns herself into a vampire for Halloween, and goes on to seduce Diana.

* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': Although Maria is HappilyMarried to her husband, Eugene, she mentioned having gone through [[DoubleEntendre "a phase"]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/going_through_a_phase with Chloe's mother, Adora]], back when they were their daughters' ages:

* To her great amusement, [[Series/TheRachelMaddowShow Rachel Maddow]] was [[http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/09/maddow-outs-lesbian-vampire/ accused of being one]].

** The fourth OAV has a scene from Miyu's past where [[spoiler: she tearfully tells Larva that she has just bit one of her school mates, and according to her that took place when she was staring at the other girl and thinking about how pretty she was..]].

* During the Marc Andreyko run of ''ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}'', the eponymous protagonist believes herself to have become this after being bitten/seduced by Nocturna. [[spoiler: It eventually turns out that Nocturna does not in fact have the power to do this, and was just using MoreThanMindControl to play on Kate's fondness for vampire movies. Nocturna herself isn't an example; she isn't really a lesbian and she's probably ActuallyNotAVampire either.]]

* Oscar and Eli in ''Literature/LetTheRightOneIn'' count as a gender-flipped example, as Oscar is a boy and Eli is a [[spoiler: castrated boy posing as a girl]].

* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'''s usual [[HoYay Les Yay]] turned up the volume in an episode titled "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", which featured Gabrielle dancing with some fanged female followers of Bacchus at a Bronze Age disco, one of whom bites her before she leaves, becoming a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent bacchae]] herself, then biting Xena later in the episode, which appears to be ''very'' [[KissOfTheVampire enjoyable]] for both women. [[spoiler: Xena then kills Bacchus and they revert to being human again.]]

* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate II Enhanced Edition'' has [[spoiler: the real Hexxat]], who is female, a vampire, and romanceable for female CHARNAMES (and ''only'' females -- she exhibits an interest in Viconia, but rejects any male attention).

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' fans long suspected this of [[VampireMonarch Marceline the Vampire Queen]], which was eventually [[IKnewIt confirmed]] by her voice actress Olivia Olsen during a book signing, who said that Marceline and Princess Bubblegum used to date. (Though Marceline has also had a boyfriend, making her a Bisexual Vampire instead.) In the final episode, [[spoiler: they kiss.]]

* Kanaya from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', though the lesbian part comes first, then she [[spoiler:turns into a rainbow drinker]].

* In the ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'' fanfic [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21444019 Halloweenie]], Akko accidentally turns herself into a vampire for Halloween, and goes on to seduce Diana.

* ''{{Film/Bit}}'': All four of the women Laurel joins are lesbians, and later it turns out they're vampires as well. She later counts, as she's lesbian and becomes a vampire too. However, aside from Duke they all seem nice (and it was revealed she influenced them in their darker actions). Duke was a lesbian before she became a vampire, and being turned so her sire could make her part of his VampiresHarem--effectively a SexSlave--has much to do with why she hates him and men in general.

* Erzsébeth Báthory, the "Blood Countess", is a disturbing real-life example, if all (or even some) of the legends surrounding her are to be believed. She is said to have had "trysts" with her lesbian aunt and was rumored to have molested her female servants and later the pupils at her finishing school before torturing them to death. (The [[BloodBath legend about her bathing in their blood]] was invented later, and never mentioned during her lifetime.)
