December Meeting — Monday 12/14

Come join us for 90 minutes of camaraderie, support, and lively discussion around the issues that gay fathers uniquely struggle with. From ex-wives to ex-boyfriends — gay fathers straddle several “worlds” at once.  Come share with us.

We have some cool stuff planned,  Make sure you can make it!

Monday Nov 16 at 7:30PM till 9PM.

Center on Halsted, second floor.

The Center is just north of Addison Street, 3658 N Halsted St.

Usually around 15 men are there, and afterwards, if the spirits move us closer to spirits, we’ll share some food over a drink afterwards.

Everything we do focuses on supporting Gay Fathers, from supportive listening, to peer-led focus on the issues of coming out, raising children, growing up gay in a straight world, and building and maintaining healthy, authentic relationships.

A volunteer door donation of five dollars helps us pay for this here website, and publicity for our group …

October Meeting — Monday 9/12

Lobby, Center on Halsted

Come “discover” the Gay Fathers of Greater Chicago monthly meeting, Monday October 12th at 7:30 PM.

This month, we’ll workshop some ideas discussed in “The Velvet Rage: Growing Up Gay in a Straight World,” by Alan Downs.

Our monthly meetings involve a presentation or workshop from a psychological professional, or member-led small group discussions. Always active, open, friendly meetings where men can share with other men who understand their situations.

Usually around 15 men are there, and afterwards, if the spirits move us closer to spirits, we’ll share some food over a drink afterwards.

Everything we do focuses on supporting Gay Fathers, from supportive listening, to peer-led focus on the issues of coming out, children, growing up gay in a straight world, and building and maintaining healthy authentic relationships.
