Hello!
Welcome to Gay Parents Australia - Australia's first and only nation-wide online community for gay and lesbian people who are either already parents or who would love to become parents one day. This is a dynamic online space where we can come together, connect with each other in comfort and safety, share our experiences and knowledge via exclusive members' only forums, communicate with each other via private messages and instant chat, find relevant information and reputable service providers, make new friends and participate in a thriving, highly interactive, nation-wide online community. Yay!
When my partner and I started the journey to become pregnant, we noticed that the business of being a parent is pretty much exclusively geared towards what heterosexual couples need and want. For example, we wanted to find an IVF clinic that didn't ask me to put my 'husband's name' on every form, but there was no obvious place for us to look for inclusive service providers.
So, I decided to create a highly interactive social network where LGBTQI parents and future parents can share our collective experiences, build a valuable pool of knowledge, support each other, celebrate together and access a marketplace of proven service providers who understand our unique needs. Yes!
Share any of our videos on this page over Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram with the hashtag #GPApozible to be eligible to win a luxury 5-star hotel stay at Radisson Blu Hotel Sydney! The person or organisation that really impresses us with their efforts to share our videos and encourage contributions to our Pozible project will win the prize. The %23GPApozible promotion will run for the duration of our Pozible project. The winner will be announced on our Facebook page and on Twitter shortly after this Pozible project closes. Good luck.
Prize details:
The winner will receive one night in a Premier Room inclusive of breakfast for two people at Bistro Fax Restaurant. The prize is valid until 5 June 2015. Accommodation is subject to availability and not usable during New Year Period (30, 31 December 2014 and 1 January 2015). The prize is valued at AUD$350. Wow.
So please, contribute towards our project first, then share our %23GPApozible videos over social media, and everybody wins. X

A project born out of personal experience
When my partner and I started the journey to become pregnant, we noticed that the business of being a parent is pretty much exclusively geared towards what heterosexual couples need and want. For example, we wanted to find an IVF clinic that didn't ask me to put my 'husband's name' on every form, but there was no obvious place for us to look for inclusive service providers. So, I decided to create a highly interactive social network where LGBTQI parents and future parents can share our collective experiences, build a valuable pool of knowledge, support each other, celebrate together and access a marketplace of proven service providers who understand our unique needs. Yes!
Your pledge will benefit almost a million people
My research says that the number of LGBTQI Australians who already have children or would like to have children is currently sitting at around 800 000 and is steadily approaching one million people. That’s a huge community of people who have been very well hidden – until now. I believe that connecting with each other in one nation-wide online destination will make us all stronger, wiser, happier, richer and better looking – after all, everyone looks better when they have a smile on their face.

How The Funds Will Be Used
My big vision for GayParentsAustralia.com.au is totally awesome. It's all about community, support, trust, strength, knowledge, wisdom, inclusion, influence and ... oh, the list goes on. But in reality, I know that every journey begins with a single step. Our funding target of $20 000 will allow me to get the online community up and running. But my vision is so much bigger than just getting up and running, so even if we've hit our funding target for this campaign, please keep pledging.
