Ah, the usual “grammer/spelling” attack – very cliche on opinion coloumns/posts, well done.

Again Kate (and to anyone else) Ill ask you (and if you are going to give a reply please do so by READING my statement first) : Are you missing somthing here? – He met up with his childrens in a hung over state, does this seem responsible/reasonable to you??

Brigs – in order to be appalled .. you first must learn to spell it.

I think John does a fabulous job of balancing his life – he is obviously first and formost a fabulous father – not only that .. he knows how to have a good time!

Kudos

Wow, cannot believe that SOME people can be negative. Guess what………? I enjoyed reading your peice…its fantastic , you can enjoy life and still have that balance with your kids, it not like your neglecting them. It is only normal that after having such a great night to think about it , even when spending time with kids… its positive energy which is great to have around children…. I too after spending time with great people and having a great night , tend to think of it, it is healthy , you are young a dad and still need to explore and experience life. It is time like these you remember and you will share with your kids when they are older, even maybe paint the town red with them , who knows …. keep it coming FANTASTIC

I’m confused to say the least. I’m a Mother of two, with an ex who is Gay. He lives his life as alot of gay men do and I believe this is why he is the wonderful father he is.

Should he hide away from who he is then resent his children for getting in the way of who he wants to be.

A friend told me about this article and I want to say here here to you John for juggling the love of fun and the love of your cherised children!

Bravo to the Author for fulfilling his parental responsibilities after a harmless night on the tiles!

It seems to me that the Author is a loving, supportive and stable role model who would do anything for his kids. What else matters?

I have to disagree. I’ve been reading every week and of course writing about this topic will shock people, because it isn’t talked about; isn’t ignorance bliss? Remember, this is a real person and these are real issues and he’s not the only person in this situation. The articles are about balancing the life of a gay father. I don’t think there is an image about a gay lifestyle? He’s sharing HIS stories about HIS lifestyle, not the gay lifestyle, whatever that may be? My parents lives didn’t stop because they had me? I’m sure there were many times when other things were on their minds besides me, it’s quite natural, after all, we are all basically human. However you choose to live your life is up to you, but if you’re open and your heart is in the right place you may have the ability to change minds. So thanks again John, great read and yes you may have hit a few nerves this week, but just remember how many gay fathers that may be feeling a little more understood this week, because of you. I admire the courage it takes to share your stories, next!

I kinda agree with Brigs, its a bit eerie how your talking about getting drunk, dancing and trying to pickup and then you talk about children and while you’re with them your thinking about “mr shirtless”? where are YOURE priorities?

And im so sick of this whole image we have on the gay lifestyle, its not all about partying until dawn you know. Hello??
