Its a confession time. queerguru never usually watches ABC TV’s Dancing With The Stars simply because many of the contestants are so relatively unknown (and uninteresting) that we have dubbed the program ‘Dancing with Who?’ However, last night was different once we heard that Nyle DiMarco was performing. 26 year-old DiMarco who was the winner of the final season of America’s Next Top Model is also completely deaf yet he still managed to simply wow the judges and audiences alike with his dancing with partner Peta Muratroyd.
DiMarco came out to the world last year when he told a fan via twitter that he was ‘sexually fluid’. If like queerguru, you want to known how that fits into the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, then check out this article from everyday feminism from 2012 which confusingly attempts to explain it further.
If you want to see more of DiMarco (!) then watch next week’s DWTS episode, and then later this year he will be appearing in the Hulu comedy series ‘Difficult People’ which surely must be a mistake. I mean, does he really look ‘difficult’ to you?
