White House welcomes Chicago-area gay family for 134th Egg Roll

Chicago, IL — The White House is welcoming more than 35,000 people to its 134th Egg Roll this Monday April 9 and among them is a family from suburban Chicago: four-year-old Siena Rose Garcia-Rizzo and her dads, Jaime Garcia and Daryl Rizzo.

The couple was contacted by Equality Illinois, the state's oldest and largest LGBT advocacy organization, who knew the gay couple and their daughter from their participation in Chicago's inaugural civil union ceremony held in Millennium Park last June. "Papa" Jaime and "Daddy" Daryl have been together for 12 years, are recent transplants from Chicago and now live with Siena, her grandmother and three dogs in LaGrange, a suburb west of the city.
