Ford Hall Forum Focuses on the Families of Gays and Lesbians in Screening Daddy and Poppa

Gay parents Stephen Galante and Bill Pluckhahn, the fathers of five adopted children, join Arline Issacson, the Co-Chair of the Mass Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus, herself a mother, in a conversation with Bay Windows editor Andrew Rapp. Che Maydun’s film Daddy and Poppa provided the context for the discussion of gay and lesbian parenting.

“This Ford Hall Forum was a ‘family affair’ that I conjured up with Tom Formicola the Executive Director of the Ford Hall Forum. Tom and I work in the same office suite at Northeastern University, and we generated the idea for this forum in a friendly chat. Look for it on my resume.”
