Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on October 16, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Jarrett! From shaking things up in the Massachusetts Senate to steering the American Red Cross with compassion and courage, you've always been a force of nature. Your tireless advocacy at GLAAD has made waves—literally—and we're pretty sure even your birthday candles applaud you.

Whether you're championing equality or leading humanitarian efforts, one thing's clear: age is just another number you'll gracefully ignore while changing the world. Here's hoping this year brings as much joy and success as you've brought inspiration (and laughs) into our lives!

Cheers to more adventures ahead—you truly make activism look good!
