information DESCRIPTION

We are a volunteer run support group run by gay dads for gay dads. Most of us are in, or have been in, marriages and we all have had children.

We understand the feeling of isolation, stress and guilt that gay dads often experience. Through our experiences, we know that it is often possible to work through the issues to achieve happy outcomes.

Gay Days Scotland (GDS) is a group of gay fathers from all over Scotland. During the more than 15 years that our group has been running we have met hundreds of gay dads. There are thousands of gay dads in Scotland. We are a mix of married, separated, divorced and single fathers who are all interested in understanding gay parenting issues and how to provide ourselves and our children with a positive life experience. Some of us are openly gay whilst others are still coming to terms with their sexuality.

We come from all walks of life and a wide age group. It is our pooled experience that can sometimes help individuals, as none of us is a trained counsellor.

We have tried to help each other with support in many forms. For most of us just realising that we are not the only gay father in the world and not alone in worrying about various issues has been a help. Please come and see us, and hopefully you can join in our monthly meetings.

We recognise that there are many men is Scotland who feel very isolated as they try to deal with being a gay parent with no support. This group exists to help fill that gap.

We get together for our monthly meetings and also try to arrange some social events from time to time.
