Between Jennifer Coolidge, murderous gays, more male posteriors than you could shake a stick at, White Lotus‘ second season captivated the gay psyche. An actor behind one such bare behind, Adam DiMarco, has taken us over again after a throwback performance of his started making the rounds on Twitter.
In 2014 LGBTQ+ comedy Date and Switch starring Nicholas Braun and Dakota Johnson, DiMarco makes an appearance as “Jared”, a gay in a pink tank top who greets the main characters as they enter a gay bar.
He also almost immediately limps his wrist, asks if they’re DTF, and offers them ecstasy. Not all representation is gonna be perfect!
His performance is kind of captivating:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
just realised Adam DiMarco co-starred with Nicholas Braun in the Date and Switch (2014)…

Between his good looks and his over-the-top, stereotypical exuberance, it seems like nobody can agree whether to thirst, cringe, or praise his performance.
At this point, we’ve learned how to do all three at once:

DiMarco also played gay in Dustin Lance Black miniseries When We Rise back in 2017, but nothing can rival the chaotic demon twink energy he was serving here.
Check out his full scene here, in all it’s E-ridden glory:

plenty of room here, have a seat.

It’s comedy– not a platform for gay role-modeling!

“What’s it all about, Albie,
is it just for a film in ’14
What’s it all about when you sort it out, Albie,
Are you meant to be a young mollied queen…”

He has a gay pornstar look about him.

He was also quite entertaining in The Magicians and The Order — and made out with Thomas Elms (briefly, but gloriously) in the latter.
Vince
Ha. Cute but fake ID’s?
Dick Gozinia
Date and Switch is a fun movie.

There was a time when the only gay representation in movies was exactly this type, and it was only there to mock and be laughed at. This is not that.
This is a good movie, and specifically a gay movie at that. It’s okay to have representation of flamboyant types, as long as doesn’t exist purely to put down the gay community, IMO.

Ages ago when I would go into a Gay bar after work I saw a guy kinda like this. Just as cute, just as spaced-out, just as effeminate and wearing the same amount of clothing. I wouldn’t touch him, but I did give him a few extra glances. Adam DiMarco is marvelous in this!
