Produced by David Barclay Moore
In family see all
Photographer David Barclay Moore turns his still camera in for video as he explores the life of a black male couple running a soft-ball team and raising three young children. Nigel and his husband Dr. Al, the team sponsor, share fathers day and a day of sport in the park discussing their relationship, the uniqueness of their team, and the hurdles involved raising small children. How do non traditional family structures challenge old norms of parenting and social understanding?

This is an interesting post here on being gay at the historically black college Morehouse. Got me thinking when I saw the fraternity reference in here: http://whozhe.blogspot.com/2008/05/can-morehouse-man-be-gay.html

Wowwww...I am breathless, in awe of this short film. What an inspiration to SEE two Black men who love each other and find satisfaction in raising a family and growing community. So often I think this is an "impossible" dream. Yet, Nigel and Al are living (and loving) proof that dream is a reality.
