A Story of Queer Family, Reinvention & Radical Love – Brian and Brandon Gorman
What do you get when a 63-year-old gay man becomes the adoptive father of a homeless 21-year-old gay teen?
You get a story that redefines family, masculinity, and what it means to show the hell up for someone.
In this episode, I sit down with Brian Gorman—maverick coach, neuroscience nerd, and proud single dad—to talk about the unexpected journey that changed both his and Brandon’s lives. From a high school photography project to full-on parenthood, Brian shares the raw, deeply human story of stepping in when no one else would.
We also dive into:
• Why chosen family isn't just a buzzword—it’s survival.
• How queer men can heal the past and rewrite their story at any age.
• How neuroscience can actually change the way we handle life, love, and everything in between.
• How queer men can heal the past and rewrite their story at any age.
• How neuroscience can actually change the way we handle life, love, and everything in between.
This one’s for the misfits, the late bloomers, the dads we never had—and the men we still have time to become.
About Brian and Brandon Gorman
Brian Gorman is a gay senior (75) and the single father of Brandon.
Brandon first came into Brian's life shortly before he turned 16. They shared a love of photography, and Brandon reached out to Brian to interview him for a school photography project. When Brandon revealed that he was abused at home and assaulted at school, Brian offered to stay in touch.
Over the next two years, their bod tightened as Brian helped Brandon prepare for his SATs, complete his college and scholarship applications, and do campus visits. Brandon was living with his birth mother at the time, and she wanted no part of her gay son's life. When she threw Brandon out three months before his high school graduation, Brian took him in.
Brian adopted Brandon when he was 21; Brian was 63. Today, Brian and Brandon share a home in Hoboken, New Jersey.
