Darryl Stephens talks to Instinct about being a gay man on-screen and off...
There's more Noah's Arc-related news today.
Darryl Stephens, who plays the title role, is on the cover of the new issue of Instinct Magazine and talks about how loyal fans of the Logo series were deeply upset when the show was canceled after just two seasons.
"Oh, people were furious when they found out the show was canceled. People who liked the show show were so touched by it," Stephens says. "They were so moved and responded with such raw emotion. It made me realize we really were doing something right, and it showed me that the show was bigger than me. Bigger than me as a gay man. Bigger than me as a black man."
Luckily, this October 24 sees the theatrical release of "Noah's Arc: Jumping The Broom." Darryl is more confident and seasoned than ever: "I'm still private about my personal life, but my being gay certainly does not have to be any big mystery or secret. Maybe in the
next few roles I get I'll learn how to settle into myself. I think that's kind of what I'm doing as a person: looking to settle into myself and be comfortable with who I am."

I can't believe that Darryl Stephens is gay I mean dang why can't straight men have lips like that!!!!

straight men do not have lips like darryl because otherwise they would be gay...
Look people I could care less whether Darryl Stephens is gay straight cripple or crazy! I just know that he is very handsome and a good actor! Oh yeah and those lips are absolutely sexy.
I have been watching Noah"s Arc as long as it was on the air. I really wish LOGO would put it back on the air. Darrly and the gang really made the show worth watching. I have also seen jumping the broom, great movie.
