Happy Guncle Day!
Why yes! Guncles, or gay uncles, are a very real thing. The family is quickly evolving, and this year, social media has seen it fit to hail August 14 as Gay Uncle’s Day. Simon Dunn, Aussie bobsledder and proud guncle, gave this holiday a boost when he posted a snap of himself with his happy nephews on Instagram.
More happy nephews, nieces, niblings and aurents took up the #gayunclesday and #guncle hashtags on Instagram…

… and on Twitter. It was a good day to celebrate all the loving uncles and aunts, and the wonderful ways they show their love.
Just them being there makes our hearts light up.

Most importantly, our guncles understand what makes us wonderful and special, and they’re proud of us in so many ways.
It’s National #GayUnclesDay (about time)

My gay uncle was brave in his life choices. And he was kind, he told me I was beautiful when I was an ugly duckling. #gayunclesday
