# Same Sex Dad Blogs Designer Daddy Communicates the Experiences of Two Gay Dads By Riley von Niessen | Published 2018-02-08 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-daddy References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/designerdaddy/?utm_source=ig_embed) & [designerdaddy](http://designerdaddy.com/) Designer Daddy is the name of a humorous blog that's run by Brent Almond, a [graphic designer and illustrator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-designers) who adopted a son just over six years ago. Since beginning the blog five years ago, Almond has received a number of awards for Designer Daddy, and has been mentioned on popular sites like Mashable and the Huffington Post. Although the content that's featured on Designer Daddy is always diverse, Almond most specifically focuses on issues surrounding the support of the [LGBTQ](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lgbtq-center) community, dispelling stereotypes surrounding same sex couples in the media, while offering advice that's relevant to other parents. Some of his most recent blog posts surround topics like sexual education, comparisons between gay and straight parents, board game and cocktail pairing ideas, and even one that offers some fatherly advice for the current US president.
