My Two Dads - When male lover adoption gets awkward
Nick King, a gay adoptive father of two, gives us a glimpse of family experience with two Dads.
My name is Nick, my husband is Jay and we have two children. Our son is now eight having come home to us when he was three. Our daughter, now four, came home when she was eighteen months old. Both adopted. Not birth siblings. But they do look very alike. “The serve of a fine Adoption Social Worker,” I say by rote in respond to that interrogate, invariably asked when people have summoned up enough courage to do so.
Throughout our adoption journey, we've generally set up support, tolerance and even admiration from those around us and those we have come across. Inquisitiveness too, sometimes misplaced, but never malicious. Regardless of age and background, recipients of the news that we, a male couple, have two children have at worst been polite and at best enthusiastic.
Occasionally, whilst positive, the response still takes us by surprise. Sadly, my Mum died the morning before our son came home with us for the first time. My Dad, now a widower, lives in a sheltered housing development in the town close to where
Black Dad's Acceptance of Gay Son Brings Twitter Followers To Tears
Twitter user @armanimoon brought many of his followers to tears on Wednesday when he tweeted a text message from his father who utilized the exchange to affirm his openly lgbtq+ son accompanied by childhood photos.
"I'm [sic] will tell you a secret, wrote the father. "At that age you used to love playing with dolls...and I thought it was because you were surrounded by girls. And I know it was always in you. And too me you were perfect! Because you're mine son."
With the usual humor followers of @armanimoon have come to expect, he tweeted:
Hilarious!

To date, @armanimoon's initial tweet has been retweeted nearly 15,000 times and has received over 125,000 likes.
This is unconditional love in action. We romance to see it!

Here’s your daily dose of adorable family love.
Some of Homosexual Twitter is collectively “awwing” at pictures of loving fathers. This happened after the below tweet about a man’s acceptance of his queer son went viral. The tweet shows the father also expressing that in hindsight, he can see signs of his son’s sexual orientation from back in his childhood.
Specifically, the Twitter account @armanimoon_ joint two pictures in a post that he captioned, “wow my dad bouta make me cry.” One of the attached pictures were of the father and the account owner as a baby. The second photo showed a text conversation between the father and his son. In it, the father shared another picture of his son at a younger age. The father then went on to tell his son:
“I will explain you a secret…
At that age you use to affectionate playing with dolls….and I thought it was because you were surrounded by girls.
And now I know it was always in you
And to me you were perfect!
Because you’re mine son”

While the moment is lovely, armanimoon_ laughed at the fact that his father established him as LGBTQ simply for playing with dolls
A viral image of two dark fathers prepping their daughters for school has caused some members of Jet Twitter to respond in outrage. The photo shows Kaleb and Kordell and their two daughters behaving like any normal family on a school day.
The picture was posted on the couple’s Instagram account with the caption “Being a father is getting our daughters up at 5:30 am making breakfast getting them dressed for college and putting them on the bus by 6:30. This is a usual day in our familiar. It’s not easy but we enjoy every moment and every minute of #fatherhood. #proudfathers #blackfathers #prouddads #gaydads.”
Muse writer Beyond Steven took to the site to air out his frustrations with the black community regarding the lgbt population.
From Mused:
I’m not going to list peoples’ comments or anything of the like because ignorance doesn’t belong on MUSED. It wasn’t the negative comments that surprised me, but the positive ones: “Finally a black gay couple.” Now, that wasn’t all the comments but most of the nice things said smash on two things:
1. The fact that this was a black gay couple.
2. That it was pleasant to see
