Who we are
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 issues surrounding being gay and also being parents. We try to promote a positive image of gay fathers.
We're very proud to be one of the oldest organizations of this type in the country. Over the years, scores of men have been helped by the peer support we offer each other.
GFGB is managed by a volunteer Steering Committee whose officers are elected each October. Steering Committee meetings are open to all members.
The organization is entirely funded by membership fees and meeting contributions.
