You know the work of Del Shores. The out-gay writer/director made a career writing episodes of Queer as Folk, Dharma & Greg, and Touched By an Angel, as well as the stage comedies Daddy’s Dyin’: Who’s Got the Will?, Southern Baptist Sissies and the cult comedy Sordid Lives.
The latter later became a cult film in 2000, and even spawned a sequel and TV series. Now Shores wades into some of the most serious work of his life.
