Abstract: This study examined how Gay and Bisexual Identity Centrality and Parental Stress affected the socialization messages two-father-led families shared with their 5-8 year-old children. Findings showed that identity centrality of gay parents may affect how they socialize their children. Further, parental stress may positively predict socialization practices within two-father-led households.
