Dustin Lance Black (born 1974) and Tom Daley (born 1994)

On Father’s Day and every day, Dustin Lance Black and Tom Daley can be honored for their resilience and the loving family they have created. Black, an American Academy Award-winning filmmaker has grown a resume of exceptional film bios (Rustin, Milk and J. Edgar); documentaries (When We Rise); and tv series (Under the Banner of Heaven, and Big Love). His compelling storytelling and complementary activism have informed and inspired many. Daley, the celebrated English diver/swimmer, who has earned five Olympic medals and multiple World Championships titles, has used his platform to champion LGBTQ+ visibility in sports. His memoir, Coming Up for Air and documentary, Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds recount his journey from child prodigy to world-class athlete and advocate. Married in 2017, Black and Daley welcomed their sons, Robbie and Phoenix, via surrogacy. They remain steadfast in their belief that every child deserves a nurturing environment, regardless of societal norms. As husbands, fathers, and advocates, Black and Daley continue to shape the future of LGBTQIA+ acceptance.
