Our Story
Nobody gets the importance of community quite like the gays. From feeling like outsiders to finding people who love us without reservation, we know both the pain of being tribeless and the joy of true belonging.
So when my husband and I became parents, I set out to find other dads who understood the unique ride that is gay fatherhood. I wanted role models, representation, and a place where families like mine felt seen and celebrated.
What I found was… not much. I got tired of trying to guess if a dad at the park was one of us or just another hipster with a hoop earring. So I decided to create what I couldn’t find.
I started Gaddies to be the first brand in the world focused on elevating our stories, celebrating our families, and centering our needs. At Gaddies, we’re creating products that wink to those in the know, connecting our communities by smartly signaling who we are and how we love. Whether you’ve been a dad for decades or you’re taking baby steps towards first time fatherhood, Gaddies wants you to to feel seen and inspired to parent with pride.
So when you spot me in the wild at the bake sale or on the dance floor, come say hi! This gaddy would love to hear from you.
