S3E1: Gay Dads Turned Social Media Influencers with Burton Buffaloe, Dustin Smith & José Rolón
We're kicking off Pride Month with a very honest conversation with social media influencers Burton Buffaloe (@bbbuffaloe) Dustin Smith (@dustin_patrick_smith) and José Rolón (@nycgaydad) about what it's like being a gay dad with such a public life.
Aside from managing a major social media following, the dads also stay busy with their own businesses, appearing in magazines and on TV, and of course raising their awesome kids. So how do they balance it all, is it as perfect as it seems on IG, and why do they do it?
This episode, influencer husbands Dustin and Burton talk about choosing to have kids after Burton was subjected to conversion therapy, their life on and offline, their experience moving to a farm near Raleigh NC amid the pandemic, and what it means for their kids' futures for the dads to have family-centric social media accounts. Single gay dad José opens up about his decision to keep his twin pregnancy the week after his husband suddenly passed away, how he balances being a single dad and a professional wedding planner with a new TV show in the works, and how he decides what does and does not appear on his social media channels.
