The DykeTV Original Series, The D Word, is about a group of young queer friends and family in New York City, their lives, their careers, and their romantic relationships - gay, straight, bisexual, lesbian, transgendered and free-for-all. Coming soon, in more ways than one.

New York City, 1993: the dawn of Lesbian Chic, the age of AIDS before the protease inhibitor cocktail, and the institution of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Mic Goldman, a young woman working on a network sitcom, is assigned to take care of the sitcom's closeted lesbian star and her girlfriend. The recent HIV diagnosis of her best friend David, her burgeoning romance with his AIDS Center case worker Kat, and the closeted nature of her job propel Mic into a new realm of grief, love and pride.

After a terminal diagnosis, a young woman returns to her hometown to complete items on her final to do list, but is foiled by falling in love with her high school crush.

The tale of a first kiss at summer sleep-away camp gone horribly, comically wrong.

Two worker bees discover their individuality on lunch break in the hive while two drone bees listen in and prepare to eliminate the free-thinkers.

A 20-something Big Chill in the age of AIDS. Lea, a TV writer is forced to return to NYC upon the AIDS death of her ex-best friend Rachel.

Lea finds out much more than she ever wanted to know about her old friend, her old room-mates, ex-lovers, family, sex and all its implications, and most importantly, about herself.
