Happy Father's Day 2020

Who are the supportive and/or influential role models for many of our OTP men or honorary members of Narnia? We salute these fathers or father figures who have played a part in molding these extraordinary men.  In totally random order,

Niall Horan and his father, Bobby:

Jared Padalecki and his father Gerald:

Jensen Ackles and father Alan:

Liam Payne and his dad Geoff (with extra bonus tweet from today, 06.21 that Liam posted):

Adam Levine and his father Fredric:

Harry Styles and dad Desmond:

Louis with influential and close family friend Robin Twist, Harry's late step-dad:

Eric Hosmer and father Mike:

Travis Kelce and father Ed:

Zayn Malik and father Yaser:

Mike Moustakas and father Mike Sr.:

Jake Gyllenhaal and father Stephen:

Patrick Mahomes and father Pat Sr.:

Adam Lambert and father Eber (there were a good many pics of Adam with his dad, but this was such a nice family portrait!):

Blake Shelton and his late father Richard:

And we wrap up our pictorial with Austin Nichols and his dad, David, (David is on the far right, Uncle Lynn Vermeulen on Austin's immediate left, Aunt Linda Vermeulen Lighthall on sister Ashley's right):

Sometimes can be difficult to find pictures of the fathers.  Many of our OTP men and honorary members are not fathers yet themselves, but some are.  We salute all of them, their dads or the influential members of their close circle today. 

The impact and saving grace of organizations like Big Brothers, Big Sisters, the Boys & Girls Clubs, and individuals like sports coaches, youth ministry leaders, big brothers, and uncles when there has not been a biological father for a child to turn to, cannot be thanked and appreciated enough. 

Narnia hopes for more Positive Male Role Models for the LGBTQ community, especially during this Pride Month, because never is it more apparent how important it is when we study the entertainment industry and how the men are treated and some of the mindsets which exist.  We hope for more empowerment for our men because they are so deserving.
