Gay Uncles Day - 8/10

💡 Every year on the second Sunday in August—this year falling on August 10, 2025—we celebrate Gay Uncles Day(also known as Guncles Day), a day founded in 2016 by C.J. Hatter to honor the special role LGBTQ+ relatives play in family life Checkiday.com+15Checkiday.com+15OnMilwaukee+15.

Gay uncles and LGBT+ relatives contribute authentic role modeling, emotional support, and family joy—especially for young generations forming their own identities. Visibility matters: when queer relatives are seen and celebrated, children grow up embracing diversity as part of their roots Wikipedia+2Days Of The Year+2Checkiday.com+2.

In recent months, as political debates over LGBTQ+ visibility continue to surge, reminding society of the value of affirming familial bonds is more important than ever. From opposing anti-LGBTQ policies to supporting inclusive representation in media, reinforcing these relationships helps counteract discrimination and invisibility in subtle but powerful ways.

At LGBT Senior Housing and Care, we believe in the power of intergenerational connection. Older LGBTQ+ adults, including gay uncles, offer lived experience, resilience, and mentorship—bridging generations and enriching communities. By centering queer elders in caring, affirming environments, we champion both visibility and dignity for LGBTQ+ individuals across the lifespan.

📌 This Gay Uncles Day, we invite you to:

● Share a photo or story honoring your LGBTQ relative using #GayUnclesDay

● Host an intergenerational gathering—real or virtual—to celebrate queer family bonds

● Support LGBTQ+ elder initiatives or youth mentorship programs in your local area

Let’s uplift the meaningful contributions of gay uncles and LGBTQ+ relatives—today and every day. 🌈
