S1E12 - Fatherhood
from Thought and Opinion
I present this topic because the idea of fatherhood, wanting to become a father that is, has not always seemed desirable or achievable for out gay black men. Race and sexual identity, and class, were exploited to make fatherhood and out and proud conflicting choices. Intersectional trauma notwithstanding, many out black gay men made the decision to become fathers, and along with their children, are flourishing. So, let’s have a conversation that we should have more often. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
