When I reviewed A Discovery of Witches, I was impressed by the overwhelming cuteness and strong gay vibe of Adam Stevenson, who plays the gay-tease boyfriend of the vampire Marcus. He is killed off two minutes after he is introduced, and Marcus is turned straight, but that two minutes is loaded down with erotic and romantic moments. So of course I had to do a profile.
Born in Glasgow in 1990, Adam is a major proponent of Scottish independence: "If we are truly heading into a society of tolerance and democracy, if we are moving in the direction of equality and harmony...then I see one obstacle in our way, and that is being bound to the United Kingdom."
Super-cute, and a political activist. What else do you need?
Oh, right -- nude photos.
After high school, Adam worked in the hospitality industry, engaged in political activism, and discovered an interest in acting. He performed in Bordering on Shakespeare with the National Theater of Scotland, and started the theater company Little Bohems, bringing "modern and contemporary plays to small audiences in unique settings throughout the Central Belt and Borders." That's the region between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Adam's passion for acting led him to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where he received his degree in 2017. He was immediately cast in Episode 2.5 of The Crown: the Queen attends the traditional Ghillies Ball at Balmoral Castle. "Ghillie" means "Gameskeeper" in Scots Gaelic; you perform Scottish Highland dances. In a kilt, of course.
Next came the gay-tease buddy in A Discovery of Witches, 2018
And a role as Urie Campbell, a young soldier who has a gay-subtext bond with his buddy Hector in Mary, Queen of Scots, 2018. He has some lines in Scots Gaelic.

In 2019, COVID hit, and with the lockdown the acting roles dried up.
In 2021, Adam started a Kickstarter campaign to fund My Friend Jame, a COVID-era film about the relationship between a homeless man and an autistic boy, written by Marina McQueer, his boyfriend Paul's sister (not pictured).
Yes, McQueer is a real name.
More Adam and Paul after the break. Caution: explicit.
I haven't found much about Paul, except that he also goes by Pablo, he is in the Royal Navy, and he was advertised as one of the "sexy buff brunch topless servers" at the House of Martha, a gay bar in Portsmouth, Scotland.
The guys were married in July 2022.
In 2022, Adam started a new career as the manager of the Park Tavern in Portsmouth, where Paul and his friends used to hang out.
They were inclusive, with drag karaoke and other LGBTQ events.
But wouldn't you rather see a picture of his dog?
