Why Joseph Tito Matters
Joseph Tito is a gay dad of twin girls, born via surrogacy in Kenya after five embryo transfers and three years of trying. His story has been featured in Newsweek, LGBTQ Nation, CTV, Authority Magazine, and more.
With 200K+ followers and 300M+ video views, Joseph is one of the leading voices in modern fatherhood and LGBTQ parenting — not because he has the answers, but because he tells the truth.
His writing sits at the intersection of queer fatherhood, surrogacy, and unfiltered storytelling. If it feels fake, it doesn't make the page.
