WATCH: Will the LGBT Community Support Noah's Arc Creator Patrik-Ian Polk's New Film 'The Skinny'?

It is no secret that we were all upset when the LOGO Network decided to not renew popular LGBT series 'Noah's Arc' due to 'funding issues'. Was that really the case or did they not want a positive show aimed towards African American males on their network? The show centered around four homosexual males that dealt with real issues involving romance, career movements, and more.

Creator Patrik-Ian Polk has since moved on to new projects and has a new film coming out titled 'The Skinny' which will be in select theaters on April 6th. The film is about five friends that attend Brown University and like the cast of Noah's Arc, all deal with day-to-day problems and decisions. Patrik-Ian Polk casted a female lesbian as one of the main character's which I feel is definitely a good idea if he wanted to pull in a large number from that spectrum of the LGBT community.

I applaud Patrik-Ian for shining such positive light on the community via his work. The real question is will  the urban LGBT community go and support the movie like we did for the premiere of the Noah's Arc film? From the looks of the preview, the movie is going to be better than Patrik's past work if I may say. In all honesty, with the proper promotional tactics and PR team, the film should do just fine. I encourage the gay's to push for high first weekend numbers like our people do for Tyler Perry films. Don't just take your BFF's, grab some of your heterosexual friends too.

Peep the clip below. Will you support the film? Comment below.
