On Our GayDar


Gay Uncle to The Rescue

May 08, 2008

brett-berk.gifWe’re not anywhere near having babies, but we do have various friends who have decided to make this strange and befuddling life choice. Luckily for them, there’s now professional gay help. Brett Berk, a certified gay uncle and kid expert, has written “The Gay Uncle’s Guide to Parenting.” As a bonus, his sound advice is packaged with wit, sarcasm and humor, making it an easy and entertaining read. He’s like the Tim Gunn or Carson Kressley of the child-rearin’ world.

We asked him a few questions about his motivations for writing this book, why gays give such good advice and how the heck he’s managed to stay in such a long-term relationship. His answers should convince you to go out and buy this book for every single one of your friends that’s even thinking about having kids.

Visit his website for more irreverent musings on parenting and buy the book here.

Outzone: It seems like a big part of the book is about helping parents to remember to be people as well, and not just parentrons. Was that part of your motivation to write the book? Or was it all “for the children?”
