We've compiled an exhaustive list of gay families in the public eye, including celebrities, politicians and even a few internet-famous broods. These gays dads' willingness to publicly celebrate their families is helping pave the way for gay dad families everywhere to become more widely accepted - and their stories are as diverse and complex as the rest of the gay dad community's.

As more celebrities and public figures come out, and more gay men decide to start a family, we can expect celebrity gay dads to become more common.
