Hallmark Releases First-Ever Gay Father\u2019s Day Card<\/b><\/p>\n

\"father'sHallmark’s doing a lovely job of celebrating Pride Month: in addition to releasing some cute rainbowy animations, they just put out their first-ever two-dad Father’s Day card.<\/a><\/p>\n

They’re the work of Kylie Wu, who writes<\/a>, “I’m so proud to be the artist involved in making the first ever same-sex<\/a> Hallmark eCard featuring two gay<\/a> dads. And I’m proud of Hallmark for celebrating people’s differences! It doesn’t matter who’s in it, LOVE makes a family.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s been a long time coming. Hallmark only started offering wedding cards for gay<\/a> couples<\/a> in 2008 (!) and was the target of a petition last year. Kristiana Johnson set up a Change.org<\/a> petition, asking the company to provide Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards for folks who were raised by LGBT parents.<\/p>\n

At the time, Hallmark said they didn’t have any plans to do so (!!) and that if you wanted to send a card to your gay<\/a> parents, you’d just have to buy a blank card and write it yourself. (!!!)<\/p>\n

That was the same year that President Obama invited<\/a> two gay<\/a> dads to the White House for a Father’s Day celebration.<\/p>\n

But now, finally, Hallmark is getting with the times. They don’t have a physical card just yet; this is online-only. But maybe before the decade is out they’ll get around to updating their messages.<\/p>\n

Father’s Day is this Sunday, the 16th, by the way. Don’t let it slip by without at least a call<\/a> home to dad!<\/p>\n
