Gay Fathers of Greater Boston

Gay Fathers of Greater Boston was founded in 1982 with a membership of seven men. Today, we are a large network of gay men, many with children living with us or apart from us, some contemplating having children, and some partners of men with children. Some of us are divorced, some separated, and some still married. Some of us are in committed relationships with other men. GFGB works to educate its members, the media, and the public about gay parenting. We try to promote a positive image of gay fathers.

Sample topics of Tuesday meetings:

• Weekend Dads: How We Spend Our Time with Our Children
• School Days: a Discussion with a School Guidance Counselor
• Gay in the Workplace
• Gay Then, Gay Now: How Gay History Helps Us Understand Our Lives Today
• Health Issues for Gay Men

Annual membership dues are $25 for individuals, $35 for couples residing at the same address. Membership in GFGB entitles you to receive a monthly newsletter, with a calendar of meeting topics, social events, Steering Committee meetings, articles, commentary, and other news. It also gives you access to the online GFGB Yahoo group and mailing list. Membership is open to any gay or bisexual men in child nurturing roles, regardless of marital status, and to their partners. Membership lists and all information regarding individual members are kept strictly confidential. 

Our outreach program helps gay fathers who live in emotional or physical isolation. We offer friendly contact with other gay fathers and an awareness of the resources available. GFGB maintains a telephone line to provide information and assistance to gay fathers. If no one is available to answer the phone, you can leave a message if you wish to have your call returned. You can also contact us by email.

GFGB is managed by a Steering Committee whose officers are elected each October. The Steering Committee usually meets before the regular meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. These meetings are open to all members.

If you would like to join GFGB, you can print out the membership form and mail it with your check.
