The Gay Fathers Association of Seattle
(GFAS) was formed over twenty-five years ago in order to provide a
safe and supportive forum for gay and bisexual fathers. In an
unbiased group setting, we meet to assist each other in working out
issues such as parenting, coming out, marriage, children, families,
friends and our partners. We seek to reach out to gay men with many
different journeys—from the issues of coming out to mid life, to gay
men who want to become fathers. Many of our members have a history
of a former heterosexual marriage, while others remain married.
Through shared experiences, we have formed a close community that
goes beyond our bi-weekly support meetings. Monthly potlucks and
impromptu socials, a book discussion group, holiday events, and our
annual houseboat trip provide camaraderie and an opportunity to
further explore what it means to be a father and a gay man in
today’s world. Hundreds of GFAS fathers have come to the realization
that they are, in fact, not alone and that there are many other gay
fathers that share their journey as each man struggles to become his
authentic self. We provide a safe and supportive setting for each
man to resolve his issues within his own personal time frame, and we
stand with open arms toward those fellow travelers who share our
struggles and our joys. GFAS is an all-volunteer organization.
