Considering we showed you that awful (not awful in that Mommie Dearest way either!) clip of Cover, Bill Duke's new film about men on "downlow men", we figured it would only be right to highlight a good story of "men on the DL".

If you haven't heard of The DL Chronicles by Quincy LaNear and Deondray Gossett, you are missing out on some excellent storylines, good acting and hot bodies. Partners for over ten years, LaNear and Gossett have created a unique collection of stories about "men on the DL". Each episode is a different, unpredictable story: these are not simply tales of men who have wives and are sleeping with men. The complicated situations explored in the show transcend the generally one-note stories of "DL" men that we are used to seeing. For example, in one episode the character is "DL", but it is his daughter he is hiding from, not a straight female lover.

With a revolving cast, LaNear and Gossett manage to bust open the confines of what it means to be "DL" with fresh stories that prove that lives of paranoid secrecy are not limited to "shocking" episodes of Oprah ... more often than not the "DL" is a matter of not being sincere to oneself.

The DL Chronicles is currently airing on here!TV. If you don't have here!TV in your area, the first two episodes are also streaming online. Also, for everyone in San Francisco on Friday, June 22nd at 9:30 pm The San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival presents The DL Chronicles "Trilogy". Click here to buy tickets.
