Über diesen Titel

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 amount of glitter in every corner of our home.

Each week, we dive into the chaos of modern parenting — from navigating school picture day (why is there always syrup on her shirt?) to explaining why some people still think “two dads” is a plot twist. Spoiler: it’s not. It’s just Tuesday.

We’re here to share stories, spill tea, and remind everyone that families come in all shapes, sizes, and fabulousness levels.

Whether you're a parent, ally, or just here for the dad jokes and emotional breakthroughs, you’re welcome at our table — just watch out for the Legos.

    This week Jason and Nate recap their favorite guest (Steven) and a powerful Netflix short featuring Matthew Shepard’s dad, dig into the difference between being an ally and a co-conspirator, and unpack how their parenting philosophy has evolved—from strict rules to positive, connection-first parenting for their daughter Lizzy. They compare parenting styles, share practical wins (and fails), and reveal the tiny rituals that bring joy to their household.

    They also tackle aging with dignity (and the cultural weirdness of “Mar‑a‑Lago face”), then shift to an urgent news alert: a Heritage Foundation–backed campaign and hundreds of anti‑LGBTQ bills moving in state legislatures that threaten families like theirs. Candid, outraged, and hopeful, they explain why visibility and organizing matter now more than ever.

    Light, loving, and unflinchingly real—tune in for honest parenting talk, culture critique, and a reminder that a child’s laugh can fix almost any day. Subscribe, leave a review, and join the community. Onward

    This week on Two Gay Dads we sit down with Stephen Chukumba, co‑founder and advocacy/outreach coordinator of Rainbow in Black. Stephen shares his powerful origin story as an accidental advocate, frontline strategies for supporting Black trans and gender‑expansive youth, and how families — especially fathers and single parents — can show up as true co‑conspirators. We discuss community building, resources (including a dating/disclosure guide co‑authored with HRC), racial dimensions of anti‑trans attacks, the fight over trans athletes in the courts, and a moving family story about patience, boundaries, and eventual acceptance. Plus: This Week in Gay News — adoptions stalled, dangerous deportations to Iran, Iowa’s expanded “don’t say” push, and joyful trans mutual‑aid in Florida.

    Takeaways:

    • How to support Black trans youth and their families in culturally specific ways
    • Practical advocacy steps: local organizing, telling stories, contacting officials
    • Why patience, firm boundaries, and community outreach matter
    • Joyful resistance as a form of survival and organizing

    Actions:
    Subscribe, rate, and share — and if you’re moved by Stephen’s work, learn more about Rainbow in Black and ways to support local trans organizations and legal defenders (ACLU, Lambda Legal, local clinics).

    Trigger warning: discussion of violence, immigration enforcement, trauma, and political repression.

    In this urgent, off-format episode of Two Gay Dads, Jason and Nate step outside their usual adoption and family topics to respond to the escalating crises they’ve witnessed — from Minneapolis where ICE actions coincided with the murder of Renee (Becca) Good, to nationwide targeting of educators and communities of color. A former law‑enforcement officer, Jason recounts what he saw on the ground, and Nate shares practical steps their family is taking to prepare (wills, apostilles, emergency funds, researching immigration options). They unpack signs of authoritarianism, why civil resistance matters, and concrete tactics and networks (including Freedom Trainers) that build collective power. They also recommend podcasts and resources listeners can use to stay informed and take action.

    This episode is a call to speak up, document injustice, protect your loved ones, and build the 3.5% movement of civic resistance. Listen, act, and share.
