Few things provoke judgment in the queer community like hooking up with someone closeted. In this episode, Gabe and Chris offer a reappraisal of the controversial figure of the “downlow lover” through a spicy interview with celebrated writer Brontez Purnell. Brontez gets honest about his experiences hooking up with DL men on Sniffies, and unpacks the Y2K-era media firestorm that made “downlow guys” into public enemy #1. Then, our hosts interview an anonymous DL dude about his secret life hooking up with men while in the closet.
