A YouTuber Released A Beautiful Tribute To His Dad's Wedding

December 6th 2015

With the Supreme Court’s landmark decision to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states, couples both young and old finally won the right to marry.

YouTuber Garzilly’s dad and his partner, Ricky, waited more than 25 years to tie the knot, which they finally did in October.

Garzilly narrated:

“Dad and Ricky have been together for 26 years, and Ricky has been a part of our lives for as long as I can remember. … Throughout it all, it’s safe to say that not everyone has agreed with their lifestyle, or even acknowledged their relationship.”
