Recently Junior had a ‘Rainbow Day’ at school. I encouraged him to wear his ‘I Love My Daddies’ t-shirt as he’s worn it in the past and loved it. This time however he was very reluctant and appeared somewhat sheepish.

I‘ve realised that I have at times shunned away from holding hands before, but I’m not just doing it for me anymore, I’m doing it for a 7 year old who clearly wants me to be as proud of myself as he is of me #BeMoreVisible

So someone hasn’t committed any criminal offences, yet hounded by the press and social media who appear to be judge and jury. The outcome? Someone has been ‘outed’ and so traumatised by it all they’re receiving inpatient support. I hope you’re all fucking ashamed of yourselves.

No one ever sees us both together and he wants people to see us together and holding hands, so that he can be proud of having gay daddies (no puns in this story please). Today Alex and I took Junior to school and held hands as we did it. I’m not sure I was expecting the response.

And it reminded me how tiring it is waiting for society to catch up so that two men can hold hands and not have to even think about what reactions and looks we might get. I turn 50 in less than two months and I am tired of ‘putting up’ (in Panti’s words).

Finally it came out that while he loves his daddies and thinks we’re amazing, he worries about what other people think about us. We think this new train of thought stems from hearing and learning about the meaning of Pride.

When I asked him what we might be able to do to help, his answer was really simple… be more visible. We were a bit confused about this as both Alex and I are both out and proud gay men, but Junior said that because I take him to school and Daddy (Alex) picks him up.

Alex and I married in January 2020, and lockdown a few months later meant we had to cancel our honeymoon. In the second lockdown we adopted Junior so we’ve never actually had a honeymoon. Tomorrow we fly to New York just the two us and finally get a little honeymoon to ourselves.
