Welcome to "2 Gay Dads" — the podcast where two dads, one daughter, and a whole lot of sass take on parenting, pop culture, politics, and the occasional PTA drama.
We’re just two gay dads raising a brilliant, curious, occasionally sticky little human in a world that’s still buffering on equality. Our family might not look like the default emoji, but we’ve got love, laughter, and a suspicious amount of glitter in every corner of our home.
Each week, we dive into the chaos of modern parenting — from navigating school picture day (why is there always syrup on her shirt?) to explaining why some people still think “two dads” is a plot twist. Spoiler: it’s not. It’s just Tuesday.
We’re here to share stories, spill tea, and remind everyone that families come in all shapes, sizes, and fabulousness levels.
Whether you're a parent, ally, or just here for the dad jokes and emotional breakthroughs, you’re welcome at our table — just watch out for the Legos.

New year, same dads — but this time we’re keeping it short, sweet, and only moderately caffeinated.
In this episode, we’re ringing in 2026 the way all responsible parents do:
by pretending we can stay up until midnight while our kids demand snacks, sparkly hats, and that we replay the same Frozen song 19 times “because it’s New Year, Daddy.”
Jason kicks us off by declaring his longstanding war on New Year’s resolutions (he hasn’t made one since 2010 and is very proud of this streak). Nate, meanwhile, tries to convince the world — and apparently every business owner — that changing tables belong in men’s restrooms too. Justice for dads with diaper bags!
Then we get a little reflective as we talk about what 2026 means to us as a two‑dad family:
✨ The hopes
😬 The worries
😂 The joys that make us laugh even when we’re covered in slime or stepping on LEGOs barefoot
And the big dream for the year: more date nights than dentist appointments. Please.
We also chat about what’s ahead for the show — more guests, more parenting stories, more voices from families like ours, and maybe one or two surprises if we figure out how to record without someone’s child demanding a yogurt pouch.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Two Gay Dads without This Week in the Gay Agenda, where we dive into everything from the mass exodus from anti‑LGBTQ religious spaces to how 2026 might (finally!) bring relief and progress for trans people — plus a wild but true fact about who’s actually getting breast‑reduction surgery.
Finally, we wrap up with our favorite tradition:
What We Learned From Lizzy This Week, followed by a little holiday‑card wisdom to carry us into the year ahead.
Grab your confetti, your sparkling juice of choice, and your most reasonable resolution (like “survive January”) — and join us for Episode 7!
We survived the flu and came back chatty. We gush over Heated Rivalries (no spoilers), salute Hallmark’s unexpected queer crown jewel, and sit down with our friends Chad and Erin Oban for a hilarious, honest, heart-forward look at their adoption journey—grief, cost, open adoption, the heroism of birth parents, and raising their Native son with everyday pride over performative checkbox culture. Then: the Gay Agenda brings legal whiplash from Texas to Massachusetts to Arkansas. We end with kid lessons: cuddles, catch, and a future wine-opener (when legal!).
What’s inside:
We will be back on January 5th with a new episode including interviews with our friends Chad and Erin about their adoptions story.
This last week we have all been battling Influenza A and we will take all the positive vibes you want to send.
Episode 5: Holiday Chaos, Ugly Sweaters & The Gay Agenda 🎄
It’s the holiday edition of Two Gay Dads, and Jason is rocking a Golfing Santa sweater that’s so tacky it might be a hate crime against fashion. Nate is not impressed. In this festive episode, we spill all the holiday tea:
And in the Big Bad Gay Agenda: deadnaming in government, HIV discrimination in the military, and why love—not fear—should define the season.
We wrap it all up with what Lizzy taught us this week (kids are wise, y’all). Grab your cocoa, your wine, or your ugly sweater, and join us for laughs, love, and a little activism under the mistletoe.

What does it mean to build a family on your own terms? In this episode, Jason and Nate explore the growing movement of single parenting by choice—a bold, intentional path that’s rewriting the rules of what family looks like.
We sit down with our friend Kelly Healy, who made the life-changing decision to become a single mom by choice. From the spark that started her journey to the challenges, triumphs, and unexpected joys along the way, Kelly shares what it really takes to go solo on the parenting adventure. We’ll talk about adoption, donor conception, and surrogacy—and why these stories prove that family is built on love and intention, not tradition.
But that’s not all—stick around for This Week in the Gay Agenda, where we unpack the headlines shaping LGBTQ+ life:
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to choose this path—or you just love hearing stories of courage and community—this episode will inspire you to rethink what family means and why advocacy matters.

What happens when one phone call turns your world upside down? In this deeply personal episode of Two Day Gay Dads, Jason and Nathan share the emotional rollercoaster of their adoption journey—from the first conversations and endless waiting to the life-changing moment they learned their daughter was on the way.
You’ll hear about:
Plus, in This Week in the Gay Agenda, we explore why inclusive language matters during the holidays and reflect on the global significance of World AIDS Day—and what happens when silence replaces solidarity.
This episode is raw, heartfelt, and full of lessons about resilience, love, and the many ways families are formed.
Pack your bags and buckle up—this episode is all about the adventures (and misadventures) of traveling as LGBTQ+ parents. Jason and Nate kick things off with a quick recap of Episode 1, a few hilarious clean-ups, and Lizzy’s latest Christmas song obsession (spoiler: it involves a donkey and a hippopotamus).
Then we dive into the big stuff:
Finally, we wrap with a heartwarming segment on what Lizzy taught us this week—because parenting isn’t just about the big moments, it’s about the quiet ones by the firelight.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to juggle parenthood, advocacy, and a little chaos (with a lot of love), this episode is for you.

In the premiere episode of 2 Day Gay Dads – Parenting with Pride in a World Still Catching Up, Jason and Nathan introduce themselves, their sassy five-year-old daughter Lizzy, and the beautiful chaos of queer family life. From Meijer meltdowns over sunglasses (spoiler: she got them) to bedtime battles and lunchbox showdowns, they dive into the real, ridiculous, and rewarding moments of parenting.
They also get candid about the politics of playgrounds and paperwork—like why forms still ask for “Mother’s Name” and how book bans are hitting close to home. Plus, they dish on Full House rewatches, their love for Below Deck, and why Bluey desperately needs a gay uncle.
Stick around for fake listener letters (yes, someone’s toddler thinks RuPaul is Santa), a sweet moment from Lizzy that made them melt, and a teaser for next week’s episode on queer family travel and Pride merch for kids.
Come for the laughs, stay for the love, and join the community at 2gaydads.com. Because parenting is political, messy, and full of glitter—and we’re here for all of it.
