The Daddy Issue: Our Relationships With Our Dads

The Daddy Issue: Our Relationships With Our Dads

For many gay men, our relationship with our dad is one of the most defining- and least talked about. In this episode, we explore the nuances of our relationships with our fathers through three core questions:

  • How did your dad react when you came out?
  • How do you express your gayness around him today?
  • Does being gay impact the level of intimacy you have with your dad?

From there, we go deeper into family dynamics, cultural expectations, and the different expressions of love and acceptance between fathers and their gay sons. We get into physical affection between fathers and sons, how much access we give them into our lives, and the boundaries we set as adults.

We also explore how these early relationships can shape the kinds of men we’re attracted to… and the patterns we carry into dating and relationships.

This is a grounded, honest conversation about the often complex and layered relationship between fathers and sons.
