THE JOURNEY TO FATHERHOOD By John Stein The world’s largest community of gay, bi, and trans parents and prospective parents, has launched its Fatherhood Partner program, a new initiative for men seeking to embark on their journeys to fatherhood. As part of the program, Gays with Kids has aligned with some of the world’s top gay-friendly IVF clinics and surrogacy agencies, as well as with key adoption/foster agencies at the forefront of LGBTQ+ family building. In addition to creating comprehensive instructional courses that outline each available option for creating a family, they are connecting prospective dads with the best LGBTQ+ affirming professionals who can help them fulfill their dreams based on their individual interests and budgets. “Our unique history as the largest online community of queer dads and dads to be has allowed us to work closely with a handful of the most proven and experienced LGBTQ+ family builders,” says David Dodge, GWK’s Executive Editor. “Our new Fatherhood Partners Program provides members of our community with free access to these experts to get everything they’ll need — resources, guides, educational courses, and more — to achieve their dream of fatherhood, regardless of their path.” In vetting its Fatherhood Partners, GWK considered each organization’s reputation among consumers and industry peers; as well as their longevity, track record and LGBTQ+ expertise as demonstrated through participation in Family Equality Open Door and/or HRC All Children-All Families. 6: fenxue.com

Each partner associated with the new educational platform is delivering their expertise as part of GWK’s completely free of charge curriculum. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with GWK on this new educational series for gay, bi and trans men interested in fatherhood,” says Sam Hyde, President and CEO of Circle Surrogacy, one of the Fatherhood Partners. “This new platform is providing us with an unparalleled opportunity to connect queer men with the resources and education they need to build their families through IVF and surrogacy.” “There are so many professionals to choose from, but for queer men, they are not all created equal,” said Molly Rampe Thomas, founder of Choice Network, a Fatherhood Partner focusing on adoption. “We are thrilled to be working with GWK to help educate prospective adoptive dads on how best to navigate the often-confusing adoption process, and connect them with LGBTQ affirming professionals.” Additional surrogacy agencies in the Partners to Fatherhood program are Same Love Surrogacy, Simple Surrogacy and Worldwide Surrogacy. The IVF Clinics are California Fertility Partners, Fertility Centers of Illinois, Fertility Specialists of Texas and Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut. The adoption agencies include Amara, Extraordinary Families, Friends in Adoption and Spence Chapin.

BIKTARVY may cause serious side effects, including:

BIKTARVY may cause serious side effects, including:  Those in the “Most Important Information About BIKTARVY” section.  Changes in your immune system. Your immune system may get stronger and begin to fight infections. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any new symptoms after you start taking BIKTARVY.  Kidney problems, including kidney failure. Your healthcare provider should do blood and urine tests to check your kidneys. If you develop new or worse kidney problems, they may tell you to stop taking BIKTARVY.  Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis), which is a serious but rare medical emergency that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get these symptoms: weakness or being more tired than usual, unusual muscle pain, being short of breath or fast breathing, stomach pain with nausea and vomiting, cold or blue hands and feet, feel dizzy or lightheaded, or a fast or abnormal heartbeat.  Severe liver problems, which in rare cases can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get these symptoms: skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow, dark “tea-colored” urine, light-colored stools, loss of appetite for several days or longer, nausea, or stomach-area pain.  The most common side effects of BIKTARVY in clinical studies were diarrhea (6%), nausea (6%), and headache (5%).

 Worsening of hepatitis B (HBV) infection. If you

BEAUTY Hisness Hisness:: WHY MORE MEN ARE WEARiNG MAKEUP By Rob Anderson

Photos by Jono Photography Makeup: Asmik Mamyan Hair: Jasmine Mamyan

Foundation, concealer, a little eyeliner… More and more men are applying makeup on a daily basis. The ﬁrst time Anttoni Lopez tried painting his face was ﬁve years ago, as a way to coverup marks and bruises he had from an abusive relationship. He turned to over-thecounter products that were readily available in his pharmacy: brands like Revlon, Covergirl, and Fenty. What he found were they were heavy, cakey, and worst of all, noticeable.

people to know I was wearing makeup,” he says. Another byproduct of the coverup: his face became irritated and broke out. “I started to pay more attention to the contents listed on the labels and discovered that certain ingredients commonly used in all were suitable for women, but likely to cause blotches in men.” He looked for a line of cosmetics that were made speciﬁcally for men, but at the time, none existed, so he set out to make one himself.

His brand, Alpha Male Cosmetics, is more subtle and much lighter than make-up made for women. It is water-based so simple soap and water will work perfectly to “Like most guys at wipe it away. the time, I didn’t want

h a M a l e C o s m e t i c s

As the demand from men has grown, so has the line. The Alpha Male Cosmetics collection now includes foundations, primer, liquid concealers and setting spray. The

Since launching Alpha Male Cosmetics ﬁve years ago, the men’s beauty market has changed dramatically. Lopez points to social media as the driving force. “Everyone is looking to pull off that ﬂawless look, and many guys are no longer trying to hide the make-up. They’re making a statement in make-up!”

His answer to that is Alpha Male’s Anti-aging BB Cream. Available in ﬁve shades and made with aloe and SPF, it is part make-up, part skin-care, working to calm the skin and protect it from the sun to avoid premature skin aging and darkening while providing sheer, radiant coverage.

It also addresses conditions that are unique to men’s tougher skin; often damaged from harsh soaps, shaving and the sun. “Applying a blade to our face, one or sometimes even two times a day, leaves many of us with razor bumps, ingrown hairs and dark spots,” Lopez explains.

liquid foundations and liquid concealers come in 24 shades, more than any other male brand in the market. “When I first launched Alpha Male five years ago, the morning grooming routine for most men was shampoo, shave and maybe a bit of hair gel. Guys are taking much better care of themselves these days. They want to feel and look good.” For men who want to give make-up a try but maintain a natural look, Lopez advises concealers should be no more than one shade lighter than true skin color. To find the shade that works best for you, he recommends trying the sample packs first. Alpha Male Cosmetics are available at http:// alphamalecosmetics. com/.
