Patrik-Ian Polk talks the legacy of 'Noah's Arc', the reboot & the Black queer joy of storytelling

1 day ago | queerty.com | Kyle Jackson

When it comes to pioneering Black queer storytelling, few names carry the legacy and impact of Patrik-Ian Polk. As the creator of Noah’s Arc, the groundbreaking series that gave us Noah, Alex, Ricky, and Chance, Polk helped redefine what representation could look — and feel — like on screen. Bold, tender, hilarious, and unapologetically Black and gay, Noah’s Arc wasn’t both entertainment and an affirmation.

Chicago’s O’Hare airport, the second busiest airport in the US per flight volume, might soon make queer history. The airport currently has concession spaces to fill. Among those to pitch for one is Sidetrack Bar, one of the Windy City’s best-known gay bars.

How did you feel when you first truly saw yourself represented in mainstream media? Can you remember? For me, it was two decades ago when I stumbled across the phenomenon known as Noah’s Arc, created by Patrik-Ian Polk.
