Parenting is hard—doing it as gay dads can feel invisible. This episode turns that invisibility into a playbook: community, identity, step‑parenting, and real talk on representation.
In this IVF Daddies conversation, Richard and David get honest about parenting as gay dads: the daily grind, the joy, and the gaps in representation that pushed them to build Gaddies, a brand for dads like them. We dig into community, inclusion, and the role of step‑parents in queer families. We also reflect on unlearning old norms, finding connection across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and honoring trans parents within the broader community.
