The Daddy Issue

The Daddy Issue, coming this June! Join us as we explore the world of queer parenting through the eyes of experts, and the queer parents through the eyes of our host, a young gay man curious about his options for fatherhood. 

Welcome to The Daddy Issue. Join us for a candid conversation between our host Connor and his partner Kevin, as they discuss their hopes, fears and expectations of gay parenthood. From family acceptance, finances to race the couple are frank, open and honest about what they think the journey that lies ahead could be. 

Listen, we need to talk. You may remember the birds and the bees, but just because a person loves a person very much doesn't mean one of those people is able or willing to carry a child. This week on The Daddy Issue we're talking to Sara Coster from More Than Wished For (Meer Dan Gewenst) about LGBT parenting, and what options are out there - and how they work. ⁠So, get ready for the talk every queer person deserved to have, but didn't get at school.⁠⁠
