The DL Chronicles - Season 1Here!’s The DL Chronicles Wins GLAAD Media Award! Ground-breaking television series honored at San Francisco awards ceremony.

here!, America’s premium gay television network, is pleased to announce that its series The DL Chronicles has won the 2008 GLAAD Media award for “Outstanding TV Movie, Mini-Series or Anthology.”

The anthology series centers on the “DL” phenomenon in the gay community. It is not only the first show to examine this issue, but also the first of its kind to ever be nominated for or win a GLAAD Media award. The DL (short for “down-low”) refers to straight men of color who live their everyday lives as heterosexuals, often married to women, but engage in discreet gay sex and gay relationships on the periphery.

“We are not only honored to have received recognition for this groundbreaking series from GLAAD, but also proud to have this exquisite show on our network. Our renewal of this series for a second season shows just how committed we are to providing the highest quality gay and lesbian television to our viewers,” said Paul Colichman, CEO and Co-Founder of here! Networks.

here! Networks has recently announced that the show will be returning for a new season. Created by Quincy Lenear and Deondray Gossett (2 Cents Productions), The DL Chronicles is not only sexy and provocative, but also offers a socially-conscious insight into the lines between sexuality and perceived socially acceptable behavior within the African-American community.
