To all those Gay dads, I take my hat off to you all because to be a dad brings you to another level in your life and to be gay also would be very hard but all you need is love and support and there are gay men out there.
I was married for 10 years, divorced, came out and I have no children and it breaks my heart because as much as I am a fantasic uncle I would of been a wonderfall dad, and I have to deal with that feeling everyday.

I am divorcing my wife as a result of issues not related to our marriage. At this point, I am coming out as a gay man and a gay father of a great little girl. I've notice that there is limited resources in my area for gay men and more so gay dads. It's a shame becuase gay dads are a positive part of society, yet get less support than other parts. It makes coming out and understanding so much harder for so many.

I am in the process of getting divorced from my wife of nearly 14 years. I have three amazing children. My wife knows I'm gay. My kids don't. Although I'm gay, I don't feel like I fit into the traditional gay scene. I'm hoping to connect with other men in a similar situation. The hardest part of this is the loneliness and feelings of isolation. Divorce itself is tough, but this adds a whole new level of challenge to my life. I'd really like to connect with other guys who have been through, are going through or expect to go through something similar. While it would be great to connect with guys in the local area, I'm open to hearing from anyone.

I am a gay dad in Texas. In the start it was a coparenting arrangement with a lesbian couple. Now they are split up and the kids are with the non birth , neither one of which is stable. I have found out that the non birth mother is living with another mans husband with my kids and there are drugs being used. Should I file for custody. I want my kids out of there and in a stable invironment. I have been with m y partner for 30 years. I have no other gay dads to talk to about this anyone willing to talk feel free.

It seems to me that single gay dads, have the same problems we single moms have, when it comes to new relationships. My ex husband is now a single gay father, I am conservative, but I also know that our daughters are the most precious gift that God has given us, and that we will always have a bond that nothing can break, and that is thru our children. Being a parent does not have a sexual preference, but it has to have the children as a priority, what is best for them, and what your legacy to the world in racing those kids is.
Remember that:
A hundred years from now, it will not matter what your bank account balance was, the sort of house you lived in, whether you are gay or straight, or the kind of car you drove, but the world may be different because you were important in the life of a child.
Stay strong, LOVE is a decision not a feeling. If you Love your children, sacrifice during the years of formation, be there for them, enjoy them, it goes by so fast. The reaction of the your ex-wife or children, will depend on how you treat them during the process of coming out. As much as, us straight wives have to understand your pain, struggles, of coming out, you as husbands, and father's have to understand the pain and struggle we go thru, giving up our dreams of family for your dreams of being free from the same family.
Stay Strong!! Best advice to ANY parent, be humble ask for help if you need to, dont try to prove anyone you can do it all by yourself, raising a child involves a community! The single cell of the community is the family, make your family strong.
Peace and Love

i am going to try to make this real short. i have a daughter that is 5 now. her mom lost her by CPS years back. i found out i had a daughter, she moved in with me and my partner at the time. she visitedher mom and didnot return her. after a 3 year custody battle the GAL said with now background support for his disishion that my daughter was to live with her mom. after court the GAL told my attorney that this was more of a lifestyle case. which reenforced my strong opinion that i did not get my daughter becasue i am gay. this reallly upsets me becasue i am stabble and a great daddy. andher mom still lives with her parents. i got screwed over with plane tickets and alot of other stuff threwout the year.

I'm almost 40 years old, the father of a 12 1/2 year old girl, gay and divorced. I recently came out to everyone but my ex-wife and daughter. I'm every nervous to do so because my daughter is at a difficult enough time in life as it is and I don't want to make things more difficult or confusing for her. I've done my best through her life to teach her to be open minded and accepting, but her mom hasn't. She's not anti-gay but she is very very conservative, in a non religious way. I'm more scared to tell her than I was my to tell my dad, and he's a Southern baptist Minister. If anyone has advice or can offer reassurance I would really appreciate it. My daughter gives my life meaning and I would die if anything were to damage our relationship.
Cheers, and thanks for reading!

We are a group of men that are bonded together through one common factor - we are gay, single, and dads. We have left, are in the process of leaving, or have decided to remain in a heterosexual marriage. We understand the confusion, pain, and questions you are experiencing. Our unique situation sometimes makes it very challenging to connect with other people, either as friends or as more intimate companions. This brand new support and social group can be a place to meet other guys that are in similiar situations as yours and that understands what you are going through. There will be regular monthly support meetings, as well as, monthly social activities. Confidentiality is provided, if needed. We hope to start this group in April 2010. For our first group meeting, we will meet at a public and neutral location that will also provide some degree of privacy. If you have any interest in being a part of a group such as this, please email me. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

My daughter is due to get married is unsure as how what to do for the best as her Dad (Me) is a gay man with a long term partner. It would cause upset if I were to give her away at the wedding or even if I attended. Obviously I want her and her partner to be happy and the last thing I want is to cause unhappiness on her special day and I certainly don't want to miss out. There must be other Dads in my situation - how do you handle it or how have you handled it without upsetting your Daughter. My daughter is suggesting she walks down the aisle on her own because she doesn't want to choose me and upset her Mum because her Mum thinks her Step Dad should do it. My Daughter knows that if anyone apart from me gives her away it would upset me. Yes, I know the easy answer is to go away and get marries but quite rightly so - my son-in-law to be wants his parents to be there. Any advice anyone?
