The youngest kid, a boy, never had a problem with his dad’s homosexuality. Divorce followed, and his two daughters didn’t speak to him for eight years. He was married to a woman at the time, with three kids. Michael, 52, lives in Long Island, New York, and came out as gay 12 years ago. We spoke with three single gay dads, to ask them what it’s like to date in 2014, kids in tow. Whether because of having children from divorce (from a woman or a man), or a break-up from a partner, or some other reason, lots of guys raising kids are single, and lots of those guys are dating.
While those dads are common, some gay dads are single, with no other man in the photo. When people think of gay dads, they often picture a handsome couple in a photo, smart suits, sunlit backgrounds, and a couple of adorable kids in front.
