Gay episodes of law and order svu
Critical Media Project
In this clip from a 2004 episode of the long-running television drama, Law & Order, Special Victims Unit, the detectives are investigating the case of a murdered assistant district attorney, who they discover is lgbtq+ and has been having an affair with his coworker. Fin is suspicious of the alibi presented by the co-worker’s poker buddies, who he suggests are on the “down low.” Fin explains to his colleagues that the “down low” is a phenomenon specific to the jet community in which ostensibly straight men have sex with other men, but do not think about themselves gay.

How does Fin explain what the “down low” means and who practices it?
How does Fin’s description of black masculinity relate to being on the “down low”? How does the black community view being gay, according to Fin?
How execute Fin’s colleagues react to his explanation? Are they surprised? Why?
What do you think the men on the “down low” might be worried about? Why are they pretending?

“They view homosexuality as a white man’s perversion. For them it’s just sex and doesn’t intend anything.”

This seems very, skillfully, odd is the nicest word I can come up with. Where did this come from?

O'Halloran finds a duffel bag with matching gym clothes inside and discovers that it belongs to Jeff's co-worker, but she states that they were just friends and that she left it with him accidentally after handball. The other Bronx A.D.A., Andy Abbott, explains that a criminal named Alvarez recently threatened York's life after being convicted, guessing that he ordered a punch on him from prison. Olivia and Elliot interview Alvarez, who claims credit, but they find that he has made no outgoing phone calls and could not have done it.
