I agree, I think the sparkling was a stupid idea. However, that isn't because "sparkles are gay" or "sparkles are for wusses" or "sparkles are for fairies" or "vampires don't sparkle". There IS, in fact, a real reason for it, and it does pertain to what I think was SMeyer's reason for making the vampires sparkle.
What is the one greatest weakness of a vampire? The sun. It is one of their greatest obstacles. SMeyer, however, took this away. She is purposely giving her vampires no obstacles in her attempt to make them "perfect". However, any writer,and MOST people who don't write, know that characters should have obstacles. That is what makes a story interesting! What are Edward's obstacles? Oh, right, there are none. Another reason why he fails as a character. (No, trying to avoid eating Bella does not count because he doesn't have to try that hard. If he can kiss her as much as he does, hang around her as much as he does, spend hours watching her sleep, then resisting her blood cannot be nearly as hard as SMeyer wishes her readers to believe it is).
