Dl gay

DL’s meaning in gay slang refers to gay and bisexual men who live their lives pretending to be straight, refusing to come out, or living in denial. Not to be dramatic, but pretending to be straight has got to be the only thing worse than actually being straight.

Someone who is down-low is on the receiving end of homosexual sexual pleasure and for that reason does not view themselves as gay, while down-low-gay is someone who is a closeted gay man.
