Resources
GFGB Outreach
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 listed at right, 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 or postal mail.
