Australians Anthony Fisk and Joseph Hoang always pictured having a family, but didn’t think it was possible.
“I didn’t think I could have kids. I thought as a gay man, there wasn’t much of an opportunity for me to have children,” Anthony told SBS Dateline.

It’s been five years since we launched The Cambodia Daily Khmer — an online platform dedicated to Khmer-language speakers.
The work requires an annual budget of $100,000 to pay reporters, photographers, editors and web hosting fees. Faced with a substantial annual shortfall, we are left with little choice but to ask you, our dedicated readers and supporters, for help. Independent Cambodian voices are now more essential than ever. Please consider giving.
