DADsquared George, to begin with... I thank you for this opportunity and your time, I'm truly honored. George Arthur Bloom I'm grateful that you want to help get this wonderful story out. DS Can you tell our readers a bit about yourself? G.A.B. I've been a freelance writer for the past 40 years.  Before that I worked for MCA/Universal Studios in a production capacity, and subsequently went on to work for a company called AIP.  We made low budget, exploitation movies like Vincent Price horror movies, Hells Angel motorcycle movies and Beach Blanket Bingo.  After that I chose to move to the other side of the desk and began to write for a living.  I sold a few screenplays and did episodic television.  I got into children’s television in 1980 and have over 300 writing credits.  I developed and wrote the My Little Pony series and Movie, and wrote the first 4 episodes of Transformers.  In...

Okay, so remember when you were little, watching the television or listening to music? Do you remember when it may have dawned on you that you did not necessarily see or hear yourself represented? So may be you don't... but those early childhood memories, although not always vivid, certainly silently sank in and helped to define us as adults. For many Gay and Lesbian adults today, we never saw other people like us on the television, and we certainly never heard our lives serenaded in the form of lyrics ( today's GLBT youths are growing up in a different world, thank goodness! ) But what about our children? What are they hearing ? What songs are they being sung ? What are they themselves  singing ? What is silently sinking in and helping to define them as adults? Cue Intro..... That's where Suzi Nash comes in. Producer, Suzi Nash DADsquared Who is Suzi Nash? Suzi Nash Suzi Nash is a left handed, ...

So I recently shared this image on my FaceBook Page  DADsquared . I can not begin to tell you what a HIT it has been. Now don't get me wrong, I personally think I am hysterical, and most of the original material I supply regularly is nothing shy of brilliant, :) But this image took the cake... and ate it up! I thought it only fitting to share it with my readers here also. Enjoy! Namaste Follow us on FaceBook @  DADsquared

There was a feeling in the air, rather like the first cool breaths of Fall, reminding one that there is a change on the way . A kind of excitement that you can't quite put your finger on. It's like everything all at once,  big as the world yet subtle, small and snug in the palm of your hand.  That's the way I feel when I'm truly happy, truly joyful. And that's how I felt the day of my Sons first birthday. 365 days and nights of sleeplessness, of fear, real or imagined . Of colds and fevers of loving and learning, and all things in-between. Here we were on his first big glorious day and all I could think of was that I wanted it to to be the cherry on that year long cake. I needed it to be a suitable celebration that would make that year proud.  I wanted color and fanfare with millions of balloons overhead. I wanted friends and family and children all gathered around. I wanted a big cake for him to dig into, and boxes and...

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Rudy Rupak, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Surrogaycy  (clever spelling!) and  PlanetHospital . Rudy and I discussed his companies origins, history and long term goals with respect to helping the gay community grow their families. Not only did we delve into surrogacy in India but in Panama as well. I hope you enjoy reading this interview as much as I did writing it. Mr. Rupak DADsquared: How and why did you start Surrogaycy ? Rudy Rupak: In 2006, our founder did the first surrogacy overseas for a US couple.  After 3 successes, he was approached by a friend who was a gay couple and although they knew it was risky their desire for having a child was so strong they decided to go for it.  We stood by them.  Since then we have several hundred gay parents. DS: Many of my readers have been hearing a lot about surrogacy in India, are you working with any other c...

                            So our Son will be turning one in a few short weeks. We have spent the last few months visiting daycares in our area. Now if you had asked me two years ago if I would ever be the type of Dad fighting for a spot at a daycare, or praying to get my Son on a waiting list, or even willingly sitting for an "interview" with a school's director, I would have answered with a resounding "HELL NO!"  And yet here I am... guilty as charged.  We were able to quickly cross many off our list, Didn't get a great vibe, or hated the location, or one too many references to a Holy Father who's name was neither Joel or Henry. But once we narrowed down the field to our top three, things really started getting interesting. I'm going to save some of the juicier details for later but I thought you'd get a kick out of knowing what finally helped us decide. Was it...
