In celebration of Pride Week, five gay friends and recent Brown graduates meet up in New York, catalysing one sexy, dynamic reunion. The Skinny, a dramedy by Logo favorite Patrik-Ian Polk (Punks, Noah’s Arc) explores many aspects of the Lgbtq community, including promiscuity, monogamy, drugs and HIV–and especially focuses on the issues faced by different races in the gay community, a topic not explored nearly enough in film and TV.
Polk’s coming-of-age tale earned him a “Fusion Achievement Award” (which acknowledges people of color in Lgbtq film) at the 2012 Outfest Fusion, and stars Jussie Smolett (The Mighty Ducks, North), Blake Young-Fountain, Anthony Burrell, Shanika Warren-Markland and Jeffry Bowyer-Chapman. Other actors include Darryl Stephens (Noah’s Arc), Jennia Fredrique (Noah’s Arc), Wilson Cruz (Noah’s Arc), Seth Gilliam (Punks), newcomer Dustin Ross and internet sensation B. Scott.

Well, it looks like GLAAD is finally in the big leagues now. Its Media Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday was heavily attended and covered by the mainstream press pretty much like it was any other topline Hollywood awards ceremony (SAG Awards, Golden Globes, etc.) This year saw trophies going to Glee, Drew Barrymore, Ru Paul and others.
The event was hosted by Wilson Cruz and Candis Cayne and featured a number of special guests, including Constance McMillen, the Mississippi lesbian high schooler whose prom was canceled when she tried to bring her girlfriend. The teen (with a "NOH8" logo on her cheek) got a standing ovation when she appeared onstage to present Wanda Sykes with an award.
Given just how many major stars she rubbed elbows with at the GLAAD event, I'm guessing her high school classmates are green with envy. Who needs a prom when you've got...
