Hallmark Cards has released a gay dads themed e-card just in time
for Fathers Day this year as part of a new Spectrum collection of e-cards
featuring same-sex couples.
People who were raised by same-sex male couples will be able to use
an e-card tailor made for them this Fathers Day as the Hallmark Cards company
has released a new gay and lesbian collection of e-cards.
The Spectrum collection of animated e-cards was designed by
transgender artist Kylie Wu and one of them, titled ‘I’ll Take Two,’ shows a
girl shopping for Fathers Day gifts and buying two of each gift which she then
gives to her gay dads.
The e-card finishes with the slogan ‘The greatest dad in the world
– I’ve got two!’
‘Happy Fathers Day, Dad & Pop!’
Other e-cards in the series feature a gay couple watching a movie
on a laptop in bed, and camping together, and a lesbian couple surfing
together, and riding a scooter together while they take a trip.
‘I’m so proud to be the artist involved in making the first ever
same-sex Hallmark eCard featuring two gay dads,’ Wu said of Hallmark’s decision
to feature her animations on the e-cards.
‘And I’m proud of Hallmark for celebrating people’s differences! It
doesn’t matter who’s in it, love makes a family.’
