I used to show a video about the ‘Gay Dads’ a few years back when I taught sociology in a sixth form college. In that film, the Gay Dads - as the media called them - were trailblazer gay wannabe parents bringing their dreams to life thanks to surrogacy, in vitro fertilisation and a very healthy bank balance. Now C4 have produced an update. Barrie and Tony now have three children and this programme films them all as they try to increase their family further. Brave trailblazers, revolutionary undertakers for the nuclear family, or selfish, obsessively narcissistic, materialistic, self-righteous, individualized commodifiers of the means of reproduction? The politics of difference, the politics of equality, the politics of the family and sexuality. It’s all there. You decide.
