"Gay At Home Dad" Is Winning The Internet
Frank Lowe was a fairly average gay working in fashion until he married his partner, moved to Connecticut and adopted a son.
That's when Lowe gave up his job to raise their son and launched his insightful, heartfelt and wickedly funny Twitter profile @GayAtHomeDad,
Some playground kid said to my son "HEY WHITE SHIRT, IT'S YOUR TURN!!" And without missing a beat, he turned around and said "It's CREAM."

If our next kid is a girl, I'm naming her Karma. So when people say "Karma's a bitch," she can snap and be like "that's right." — Frank Lowe (@GayAtHomeDad) October 24, 2012
So when is Lowe making up jokes and when is he sharing a genuine family moment? “Anything that seems a little too outrageous probably is,” he says. “If it could have happened, or if it’s heartwarming, it is probably true.
Lowe also freely waxes on about pop culture, amusing fans like George Takei.
As each degree of temperature drops, Mariah Carey grows stronger. She dances around her home, knowing she will be relevant soon. — Frank Lowe (@GayAtHomeDad) November 9, 2014
I'll say "Voldemort," I don't give a fuck.

Since launching Gay at Home Dad in 2010 Lowe has garnered 81,600 followers on Twitter. He's appeared on the Today show, signed with an agent and is considering writing a screenplay—but for now, his focus is still on parenting: "I just want to show the public we’re real," he says of his family. [Our song] is a beautiful kid who does real kid stuff—that’s important, I think, to show people we’re parents. We’re gay, but we have the same problems as other parents do."
