This impediment n be tied to the ways which cultural unrstandgs of genr and s unrstood meang child rearg have been upled wh discrimatory practic agast gay men, and enacted and staed by social stutns, cludg medice and social servic (Appleby et al., 2012, Bergstrom-Lynch, 2015, Berkowz and Marsigl, 2007, Biblarz and Savci, 2010). Although gay men ‘have been livg fay and k arrangements that clu children for as long as there have been gay men’, the rtrictns agast the open formatn of their fai did not beg to shift until the 1980s, at the same time as velopments assisted reproductive technology (ART) began to make the open formatn of exclive geic gay fatherhood possible (Goodfellow, 2015: 2).
