Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian: 'Surrogacy affects families, not just gay people'

"I think people think that we don’t have to abide by the same laws everyone else does because we’re on Instagram," said former Big Brother star Brian Dowling at the launch of RTÉ's programming for the  autumn/winter season.

TV presenter Brian Dowling and his husband Arthur Gourounlian hope to highlight the challenges of surrogacy in Ireland in a new show documenting their journey to becoming parents.

Airing on RTÉ this upcoming season, Brian and Arthur’s Very Modern Family will see the pair open up about their struggles.
