An excerpt, so people know what the article is about:
Sounds like two guys declared a "national parents day" when in reality it doesn't go beyond the two of them. I wish them luck, but I think it's harder to create a viral holiday than they think.
QuoteCalling all gay dads! National Parents' Day, Sunday, July 27th is about to commence. With the growing number of gay-parent households multiplying across the nation, it has become evident that the national holiday does not solely belong to heterosexual parents or even the typical nuclear family.
Based on a 2013 study by The Williams Institute, as many as six million American children and adults have an LGBT parent. Despite lesbian couples heading up a higher number of these households, gay dads are growing more and more with fervor. Two gay dads in particular, Brian Rosenberg and Ferd van Gameren are taking the initiative by storm to celebrate National Parent's Day along with operating their website Gays With Kids.
