"Read Gay Dads because it's a long overdue companion for gay dads and their kids, because it's proof that fathers can be just as nurturing as mothers, or because it focuses the national debate on families where it belongs - on content, not form - but read it. Gay Dads is an intelligent, compassionate and important book." - Gloria Steinem

"It's rare in the history of human relations that we get a front-line report of a social phenomenon right from the start, but Gay Dads is just that: a panoramic look at the first decades of an entirely new kind of family. Neither a personal memoir nor a clinical study, it is instead the spiritual survey of a trend, encompassing not just the hard data but the yearnings, the impediments, the strategies, the joys, the costs and the benefits of becoming a parent in a way almost no one has done before. As such, it is a valuable addition to the growing literature on a subject whose relevance will only increase with time-not only for gay people, but also for the growing majority of Americans being raised outside the white-picket, two-parent, two-sex, one-race, genetically-related ideal (or was it a fantasy?) of some other century." -Jesse Green, author of The Velveteen Father: An Unexpected Journey to Parenthood

"David Strah has captured a quiet revolution in the making -- a revolution that promises to transform and enrich gay culture forever." - Elizabeth Birch, Executive Director, Human Rights Campaign "

"GAY DADS: A Celebration of Fatherhood skillfully documents a quiet revolution taking place in neighborhoods, schools, and playgrounds across the country, as out gay men shake up popular perceptions of what constitutes the American family. These thought-provoking stories reveal the myriad faces of gay dads and their children, and the perseverance, commitment, and love that bind these families together." - Johnny Symons Director/Producer, Daddy & Papa
