Father’s Day Is “Awkward” For Gay Parents – Here Is Why

With the rise of LGBTQ+ activists in the U.S., things have become complex. Gone are the days when there were two genders: Male and female. Now, the trans community has stepped forward with these ‘previosly unknown’ pronouns. This has turned out to be a matter of heated debate and controversy on social media platforms. So much so that Jordan Peterson - a popular clinical psychologist - came under criticism by gay activists. The reason? All because he refused to call someone ‘he’ or ‘she’ because of their gender stratification.

Thus, gender stereotypes have become the talk of the town. Father’s day, celebrated on the third Sunday of June across the world, is one of the celebrations that is attracting gender controversy. Gay couples consider the celebration of father’s day illogical and awkward.

However, the argument that gay activists - who are against the celebration of fathers day, or mother’s day for that matter - put forward is quite logical. There should be one specified day to let your father know how much you love him, they argue. And the same is true for mother’s day.

Major Counter Arguments Against the Celebration of Father's Day

Another argument that comes against the celebration of father’ day comes from straight couples. They argue that there should not be a specified day to celebrate and appreciate your dad for who he is. Finding an “appreciation” letter from your son on a single day throughout the year is awkward, says 55-year-old dad Frankie. The father of 3 argues that he feels down when he receives the “best dada ever” on a specific day of the year. Dads should be appreciated every single time, and so are moms, Frankie suggests.

On the other hand, gay couples find it “awkward” to say happy father’s day on a specified day. For that matter, they even find father’s day presents embarrassing. Because gays are biologically unable to produce kids, it is obvious that celebrating father’s day (or mother’s day, for that matter) does not make sense to them.

The Agony of Father's Day Celebration

Nonetheless, these celebrations (like father’s day and mother’s day) are very popular among Gen Z. and most dads - even the biological ones, could not stand these holidays. Some parents argue that this holiday can take the worst shape as kids grow.

This is a sensible argument, though. Some activists are against the celebration of fathers’ and mothers’ days because they understand that these holidays can be agonizing for kids as they grow up.

For instance, kids who have no parents, or the ones who have lost their parents, will be traumatized on these holidays. Because they will have no one to offer presents and appreciation letters, they will feel the trauma of not having them.

Thus, the celebration of father’s day and mother’s day that has been around for decades does not befit everyone in society. Not only do gay couples find it senseless, but straight couples also think that these holidays can be traumatizing for some.
