Fathers Day!
To the two best dads on fathers day! A day with a new meaning, now that gay men can adopt children, have children without prejudice from agencies and raise children as straight couples would. How do we celebrate this hallmark occasion now? EASY! Hallmark have released its first gay fathers day card. This comes just 4yrs after Hallmark created wedding cards for homosexual couples. This fathers day seems to have a highlight on more inclusion of the LGBTI community as President Obama has also invited two gay fathers to join him at the White House to celebrate fathers day with other fathers from across America. Where the White House recognizes both men as fathers of their child, their home state of Michigan does not, still only one parent is legally a father to the child, while the other father is not. As always with every triumph we are still reminded there is a still a long way to go to equality. 
Perhaps one day when I become a father the card aisles will be filled with “my two dads” “best dads ever” cards for my children to begrudgingly buy and give me in exchange for cash. Regardless of what we think the corporate card companies may hopefully follow Hallmarks examples and begin saturating the market with similar LGBTI cards for all to purchase and distribute.
The LGBTI community is a strong influence on business on high streets and have been referred to as the “pink currency”, it is more than likely that soon we will be saturated with LGBTI themed goods in our stores to purchase on holidays along with all the other soppy, loving, congratulatory cards, gifts and ideas we purchase to explain how we feel towards each other.
The sentiment may be fake, but I for one think its nice to be included in yet another aspect of society and see being gay normalize further.
Father’s Day Gift Ideas- Edge Gel & Schick Razors
With the endless amount of coverage that Father’s Day is getting lately and the wacky gifts that come with it, why not get your father something simple and practical that he can use on an everyday basis? Cue to Edge® Sensitive Pro Relief Shave Gel and the Schick Hydro® 5 Groomer to help your father with his everyday shaving essentials. As a big fan of both brands myself, I am excited whenever the brand comes out with something new and fun for both father’s and sons to enjoy. Here is some more information on the brands-
Bring Out Dad’s Sensitive Side: Edge® Sensitive Pro Relief Shave Gel is specially formulated for men with sensitive skin, helping to reduce irritation and friction between the razor and skin throughout each shave. Dads may be unable to guard against other moments in their lives when their sensitive sides are tested (Child’s Firsts, College Graduations, Child’s Wedding Day) but Edge Sensitive Pro Relief Shave Gel at least has their sensitive skin covered. It features a special formula of lubricating molecules, emollients and a special blend of skin conditioners to help protect sensitive skin from irritation and enhance razor glide.
Your Dad Started The Beard Trend: It’s no secret that the popularity of facial hair among men has increased in recent years. While men look for more ways to experiment with new facial hair styles, they don’t want to over complicate their grooming routines. The new Schick Hydro® 5 Groomer is a first of its kind razor system, designed to simplify a man’s precious time in front of the mirror. The Schick Hydro 5 Groomer is a 4-in-1 performance styling tool that shaves, grooms, edges and hydrates. With a Schick Hydro 5 razor on one end and an adjustable power trimmer on the other, this all-in-one tool eliminates the need for multiple attachments, making it easier than ever for men to maintain their personal grooming styles.
