Father's Day 2015 Explodes on Social Media

Happily, if social media is to be believed, plenty of other people agree with me. Instagram swarmed with NBA players either paying tribute to their fathers or indeed their own children, whilst Facebook and Twitter featured an even more broad spread of famous faces honouring the day.
Justin Timberlake pulled in a particularly significant amount of attention by posting a picture of his newborn son, Silas, who is only a month-and-a-half old. Other famous faces instead opted to post images of themselves with their fathers. Madonna opted for a picture of her as a baby, whilst David Beckham chose a more recent photo.

Another father who featured heavily was Caitlyn Jenner, who had already been trending on social media in the wake of coming out publically as a transgender woman. All of his numerous children (both Jenner and Kardashian) paid their dues, with Kylie Jenner leaving a heartwarming video tribute which made it clear that the gender change had in no way detracted from Caitlyn's role as her father. There have been some depressing, but expected trolling responses, but nowhere near enough to draw attention away from the sweetness of the gesture.
