A father from Cardiff has spoken candidly about what it's like to raise kids in a same sex relationship. Damian Kerlin and his partner, Andrew Taylor, had always dreamed about raising a family.
In 2018, the couple's dream came true after the two were able to adopt twin boys. During the coronavirus pandemic however, Damian realised that there wasn't a space for him and fellow parents from the LGBTQ+ community to voice their ideas or share the challenges they faced from day to day.
From there, Damian decided to start a blog which explored such aspects, which has proven very popular with parents in the community and further afield. Damian is a finalist in the 2022 WalesOnline Diversity and Inclusion Awards, which is being held on July 13 at the Cardiff City Stadium. You can get a ticket to the event, which includes a three-course meal, at the official website.
