COURAGEOUS LOVE:
a Self Help Guide for Gay Fathers

Fatherhood literature has not always made room for every father.

Tyson Pete wrote Courageous Love: A Self-Help Guide for Gay Fathers to help change that. Speaking directly to gay fathers; navigating parenting, identity, relationships, belonging, emotional wellness, community and the everyday responsibility of building a healthy home.

The work went on to receive the 2025 Regal Summit Book Award for Best Parenting Book, helping establish Courageous Love as the foundation for a much larger collection.

The Courageous Love Series

Courageous Love began with a simple but difficult question:

What happens when we stop surviving our stories and begin using them to build something better?

Created by Tyson Pete, Courageous Love is an expanding body of books, conversations, resources and experiences exploring fatherhood, family, identity, generational healing, relationships, accountability, emotional growth and legacy.

The work began by addressing an often-overlooked audience through Courageous Love: A Self-Help Guide for Gay Fathers and has grown into a much larger conversation about how people and families heal.

Courageous Love does not ask readers to pretend pain did not happen.

It asks what they are going to build from what happened next.

But the titles are not the story.

The story is what connects them.

Writing became a way to give language to difficult experiences.

Fatherhood became a reason to grow beyond them.

Service became a way to make the lessons useful to others.

And Courageous Love became the thread connecting it all.

Courageous Love Collective Magazine

Founded by Tyson Pete, Courageous Love Collective expands the conversation around gay fatherhood through journalism, commentary, interviews, family stories, practical resources, and cultural conversations centered on the real lives, challenges, triumphs, and experiences of gay fathers and their families. The publication exists because representation should do more than make gay fathers visible. It should give them a place to recognize themselves, feel understood, see their families reflected with dignity, and know that their stories belong in the larger conversation about fatherhood, family, healing, and legacy.
