Wedding cake for vampires. The next battlefront?

Sociology researchers are now insisting that we as a society start accepting people who choose to “identify as real vampires” — so that they can be open about the fact that they’re vampires without having to worry about facing discrimination from people who might think that that’s weird.
The study, titled “Do We Always Practice What We Preach? Real Vampires’ Fears of Coming out of the Coffin to Social Workers and Helping Professionals” was conducted by researchers from Idaho State University and College of the Canyons and the Center for Positive Sexuality in Los Angeles.

"Unlike lifestyle vampires, real vampires believe that they do not choose their vampiric condition; they are born with it, somewhat akin to sexual orientation,” it continues.
...
Williams explained that no one should be bothered by a person wanting to drink another person’s blood because “it is generally expected within the community that vampires should act ethically and responsibly in feeding practices,” and it’s not their blood-drinking that’s the real problem here — it’s the fact that they have to worry that other people will judge them for their blood-drinking."
Yeah, I'm sure it's the same as sexual orientation, exactly the same.
Why don't they discuss the real point? Would the blood or "psychic energy" donor, be willing? Vampires are practically embraced these days thanks to pop culture already. They may as well stop hiding in their coffins. If they are hurting people, then they should be punished. If they're not, who cares?
Sounds like they just want to create news where there doesn't have to be, but most news these days is unnecessary anyway, I suppose.
