Gay Fatherhood: Narratives of Family and Citizenship in America

by Ellen Lewin

Book Overview

Men are often thought to have less interest in parenting than women, and gay men are generally assumed to prefer pleasure over responsibility. The toxic combination of these two stereotypical views has led to a lack of serious attention being paid to the experiences of gay fathers. But the truth is that more and more gay men are setting out to become parents and succeeding-and Gay Fatherhood aims to tell their stories.
