Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all Dads everywhere. I thought this was such a heartwarming article. I'll preface it with the note I read from The American Foundation for Equal Rights written by the author's son.

My dad is my hero. He regularly worked two jobs to ensure food was on the table and clothes were on my back. He’s the one who fought off the bullies growing up. He’s the one who told me I should take that job in California even though he didn’t want me to leave home. He’s the one who said, “So…?” when I told him I was gay. He’s the one who continues to speak out and support my endeavor to fight for equal rights.

And when I am finally able to walk down the aisle to marry the love of my life, Paul, he’s the one I want standing beside me.

This weekend, we celebrate Father’s Day and I give thanks to the hero in my life who has been there every step of the way.

Sincerely,

Jeff Zarrillo
Prop. 8 Plaintiff

P.S. Check out this great piece my dad wrote in The New York Times. I’m so proud of him.
