Gay Fathers Worldwide

Founded in Melbourne, reaching the world!

Supporting gay and queer Dads with love, empathy, and sharing stories in a non-judgemental, safe place.

Gay Fathers Worldwide is a peer support group primarily for queer and gay men who have children from previous heterosexual relationships.  

About Gay Fathers Worldwide

Hi, I’m Shaun, I came out later in life and I am the father of 4 children. In 2020 I co-founded Gay Fathers Worldwide, a private Facebook group where men can talk openly and safely. It is the essential support network tailored for predominately gay men who are navigating fatherhood following past heterosexual relationships. We are extremely proud of this resource and that it humbly began in Melbourne, Australia, but now unbelievably reaches men from all corners of the globe, hence the name. Our community embraces gay fathers from all walks of life creating a global circle of understanding and shared experiences.

Empowering Gay Dads at Every Stage

Whether you're a gay father still in a marriage, grappling with uncertainties, recently separated and seeking support, or moving forward in your journey post-divorce, our group is here for you. We understand the unique challenges you may face, from the complexities of estranged relationships with children and grandchildren, to fostering new connections with partners and family. Our members include those who are out and proud, as well as those still finding their way in the journey of self-acceptance.

Building a Supportive Global Community

Gay Fathers Worldwide takes pride in fostering a safe, loving, and inclusive environment. Through our regular monthly zoom meetings and global events, we offer opportunities for gay fathers to connect, share stories, and forge lasting friendships. Our platform is a place where you can find solace, understanding, and camaraderie among men who truly get your experience. We also understand that not everyone is on Facebook and invite you to send a confidential email below to reach out for other forms of connecting with the group wherever you are in the world.

A Space for Acceptance and Peace

Joining our community means becoming part of a global network where gay dads can feel truly at peace and accepted. Many of our members have found profound joy and fulfilment in their lives as gay fathers and serve as inspirations within our group. At Gay Fathers Worldwide, we are committed to helping you embrace your identity, connect with others who share your experiences, and thrive as a proud gay dad.

Discover a world of support, friendship, and acceptance with Gay Fathers Worldwide. Connect with us today and start your journey towards a more fulfilling and understood fatherhood. I also appreciate that all men aren’t on Facebook. If you would like to join our monthly zooms and you are not on Facebook click here for our Meetup group or reach out via email confidentially and I will respond to you directly. Cheers Shaun
