After 8 months, 4 IUIs, 1 IVF, 200+ shots, 32 fertility clinic appointments, 1 embryo transfer, and tons and tons of happy tearsβ¦. Oliver and I are SO excited to announce thereβs a little explorer on the way. πΆπ»β€οΈ
3ish months ago, I was sitting inside of a clown-themed trans-owned cafe in Upstate New York when I got the call. I ran outside to answer as Oliver smiled and excitedly nodded on FaceTime. The test was positive. It was a moment I will never forget. A moment that Iβm sure Baby V will hear about over and over. As trans husbands, it feels both radical and quite ordinary for us to be expecting parents.
While thanks will never feel like enough, we want to say thank you. To the seahorse dads, the two mom families, and the queer parents both in our lives and whose stories weβve seen online and read about in books. Your stories of turkey basters in the 90s, navigating adoption when it wasnβt legal for queer people to adopt, and getting pregnant before most people even knew gender diversity existed, have given us the gift of representation, peace, and hope for the future of our family. To the fertility clinic staff, nurses, and doctors who made us feel seen and supported. To our friends, family and village. To our first-borns, Kaliπ, Phillipπββ¬ and Gilbertπ. And to Oliver for his strength and bravery throughout this journey.
We are SOOOOO freaking excited to meet our little Leo (who is already moving around and dancing) in Oliverβs belly (!!!) and to be parents.
Love,
Papa Chase + Dad Oliver

[SAVE/SHARE] LGBTQIA+ TRAVEL GUIDE: NEW HOPE, PA π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ #VisitPAPartner
Just over an hour from Philly and tucked along the Delaware River, New Hope, PA is easily one of the queerest small towns in the U.S. A longtime haven for LGBTQIA+ travelers, artists, and creatives since the 1940s, it was recently named the #1 small town for arts and culture (and for good reason).

Welcome to your next Southern Illinois gay getaway π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈπβ¨ #airbnbpartner @airbnb
This cozy @Airbnb cabin in Makanda sits on a 52-acre farm near Shawnee National Forest, just five hours south of Chicago. Tucked right outside town, Makanda is often called the βhippiest town in Illinoisβ and is the perfect queer-friendly weekend getaway for hiking, exploring nature, and fully unplugging. The cabin has no WiFi, a full kitchen, and a fire pit for late-night sβmores, plus total seclusion that makes it feel like your own private retreat. A true hidden gem for LGBTQIA+ solo travelers, couples, small families, and adventurous pups.
Save this for your next Midwest road trip!
More Details:
