Hide & Seek

Shaun and Dean from Gay Fathers Worldwide step into the studio to share about connecting men who have kids from past heterosexual relationships. Now reaching almost 1000 members, the global group supports men to talk about their same sex attraction, and unravel what it means to (potentially) start a new life with a queer identity. We talk conversion practices, faith, and coming out to partners and kids.
