"That sounds really pretty, I love your blue dress! Why don't you leave the baby at home, though, it might cause you aches and pains. You know, because of the extra weight."
"Oh, good idea!"
"Yeah, just leave it in the closet."
"OK, but are you sure that's safe?"
"Sure I'm sure. Here, take a Motrin. Did I tell you it's going to be a Motrin party?"
"Well, if you didn't already, you did just now!"

This guy is really special and I hope that this video accomplishes whatever he intended it to.

Yeah, I don't agree, either. I can see some parallels between vampirism and homosexuality on this show, kind of, but they're weak and only go so far as the "outsider trying to be accepted in the mainstream" thing. Being a vampire means murdering humans, which is harmful, whereas being homosexual means wanting to have sex with people of your same sex, which isn't harmful. Denying one's vampire urges--not murdering people--to assimilate with society is the only way to get all that Vampire Rights stuff. Society wouldn't be like, "Vampires are great, leave them alone, let them do whatever they want!" if they were still going around murdering people.
I don't think there's enough of a parallel between vampires and gay people to support an argument that the show is homophobic. I think the wordplay-ish stuff is convenient (coming out of the coffin/coming out of the closet; god hates fags/god hates fangs), but doesn't go so far as to actually make a statement about homosexuality.
I would say the similarities are more of a flimsy set-up for the viewer to swallow the idea that vampires might exist and would try to become part of society. But at the end of the day gay people are humans; vampires are undead monsters. I don't think anyone's going to be like, 'These nice vampires aren't murdering anyone anymore, so those gays should stop being so gay!'

What should happen next is that people should recreate this video, complete with a pile of humans lying on one another in the background.

She turned out to be the hot British girl on a cheese diet from The Devil Wears Prada, and at the end of the movie she and Dane Cook rode off sexily in her red convertible.
