Growing up gay, most of us didn’t have parents who shared that identity and could guide us through that experience as we stepped into adulthood. Enter the gay daddy. Whether for friendship or romance, we can easily find ourselves drawn to older gay men for answers we never got and always needed. I sat down with my friend and resident daddy Eric Rutherford to talk about gay age gaps in dating, aging in the gay community, how to keep a positive attitude through it all, and so much more.
