The most exciting news for all of Noah's Arc fan's is that a new series called "Christopher Street" will be coming your way!!

New York City's West Village will be the focus point where four college age friends come together. Something like "Noah's Arc" , "Girlfriends" or Beverly Hills 90210, during their teen and young adult years. The main character is Christopher Dwayne Street, who has dropped out of college and moves from a small town to the Big Apple, where he forms friendships with Jeremy, Ashton and Sean.

When I spoke with Dwight Allen O'Neal, the Executive Producer/Creator, he informed me that "Christopher Street", promises to educate and well as entertain. The series will deal with everyday issues that young, coming of age, gay youth face. We will be able to share in the laughter and mishaps of life when we are introduced to the characters.

Dwight also explained that some of the fixed points is to teach one how to have "self-love", "how to deal with relationships." Even how to shower and clean one's self before a sexual encounter. From the stories I've heard, some of the "children" should set their DVRs for this episode, there's nothing pretty while making love, during penetration you hear "I love you", all of sudden there's an odor, and its coming from the person that you are making love to. And you think, "Oh, sh*t", then realize that it is. I'm sure some of the situations will be funny, while others will be serious, and hopefully cause conversation.

Other issues addressed will be harassment by those who are homophobic, HIV/AIDs, the down low men, drug abuse, sex parties etc. You will be looking into the window of a life-style that has so many shades of black, white and grey. "Christopher Street" will allow those who are confused about the gay life style, to understand that gay people worry and have the same concerns and issues as some one who is hetersexual. It doesn't matter if you are Lesbian, Transgender, Bisexual, black or white, gay or straight, this series promises that you will be able to relate to the characters since New York City is a melting pot of cultures. One may remind you of a cousin, an uncle, an aunt, your brother, your sister or even yourself.

Christopher Street Cast

The fun thing about having the location in the West Village is that there's no telling what might happen. You may see a group of "Drag Queens", or find one of the characters chatting with a "Transgender" person. A leather daddy might have his slave son on a dog collar, or one may see a mother and son, enjoying each other's company after coming to terms with her son's life-style , while another may witness a person who is experiencing domestic violence. There's a window of possibilities. Unfortunately, the down side is that a gay person can be an easy target, as everyone knows that the Christopher Street is known to be a gay outlet. Yes, there's a lot of diversity as the gay culture is full of many colors and situations.

"Christopher Street" will lightened where there was darkness, and perhaps open the door for communication. "Noah's Arc" and "Girlfriends were based on the West Coast, whereas "Christopher Street" will be based on the East Coast and its about time! New York City has a different kind of flavor.

Another tidbit is that Dwight, the Executive Producer and Creator will play one of the Christopher D. Street's close friends . And, no, I'm not telling you which one. You will have to watch the series. At present, there are a few networks that are interested in "Christopher Street." I have a feeling that "Christopher Street", may push the envelope in showing what gay life is about in the big city.

Whoever the winner is, will have an award winning series on their hands. Remember you heard it first, at GBMNews.com
