Brant Rawls-McQuillan always dreamed of having a family that included children. But he was also a gay man who came of age in the early-90s, when happily-every-after stories featuring two guys, two kids and white picket fence simply weren't part of our cultural narrative. To get there, they had to forge a path that wasn’t laid out in sitcoms, movies, and storybooks. Today Brant is a stay-at-home dad and self-described happy homemaker who learned the gift of nurturing from his mother and grandmother.
