I am a regular contributor to the community site GaysWithKids.com where gay dads come together to share and support each other and offer help to the next generation. I discovered the group when I was writing my book “Out and About Dad,” and couldn’t help but wonder how my life as a gay dad back in the day would have been so different If I could have joined a group like this.

Imagine.

My latest post is a festive one … celebrating the brands that are featuring gay dads in their holiday advertising and marketing activity, specifically Nordstrom, Target, and Ralph Lauren. Representation is an important element to gaining belonging in society as brands both represent and inspire pop culture. I find the inclusion of families with gay dads to be just that … inspiring. With a real sense of belonging.
