Welcome to "2 Gay Dads" — the podcast where two dads, one daughter, and a whole lot of sass take on parenting, pop culture, politics, and the occasional PTA drama.

We’re just two gay dads raising a brilliant, curious, occasionally sticky little human in a world that’s still buffering on equality. Our family might not look like the default emoji, but we’ve got love, laughter, and a suspicious amoun... more

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Bright Spot of Humanity, Humor, and Heart

    Listening to 2GayDads feels like sitting with friends who truly get it. Whether you’re LGBTQ+, a parent in the trenches, or an ally, this show taps into a shared sense of kinship. It reminds us that what connects us isn’t labels—it’s our humanity and the joy-in-the-chaos reality of raising kids.

    Their stories like the ones about counting down to bedtime—only to scroll through photos of your kids 30 minutes later—are hilarious, honest, and deeply relatable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hidden Challenges Queer Families Face—and the Simple Strategies That Empower Them
Q: When did your work click for you and become more than a passion—when did you know this was your calling?
It clicked after years of birth work and seeing how many families struggle with disempowering experiences; a moment of realization came when I understood I could shape a safer, more informed journey for others, especially in queer family-building.
Brave Kids - Brave Parents
Q: What advice would you give to listeners who want to support Rainbow in Black or advocate for trans youth?
Listeners should engage locally and nationally, be willing to contact elected officials, participate in public processes, donate to organizations making a direct impact, and educate themselves through first-hand stories and diverse information sources to counteract misinformation.
Brave Kids - Brave Parents
Q: What are the main programs Rainbow in Black runs to support families?
The organization runs three main programs: monthly virtual support meetings for families, a robust set of resources for conversations and safety, particularly around dating and disclosure, and active participation in panels and conferences to share the family perspective with professionals.
Brave Kids - Brave Parents
Q: What sparked Rainbow in Black to form, and who did you identify as the core audience?
Rainbow in Black formed to fill a gap where Black families of trans and gender-expansive youth could find resources, safe spaces, and community, with a focus on Black and brown experiences that were underrepresented in national advocacy spaces.
Queer Dads, Big Stories
Q: Has there ever been a topic on your show that you hesitated to cover because it felt too raw or politically charged?
Yes. Politics and policy affecting LGBTQ families surface occasionally; we try to keep the main show positive and accessible, while using our platform to explain the impact of these issues, and when needed, we address them tangentially or on separate channels to protect the show's ethos.
