Chosen family has value. Platonic relationships can be just as serious as romantic ones. Single people have shared interests with LGBTQ+ people & polyamorous people & step-parent families, in support for families beyond nuclear. So honored to share my vision on @TEDRadioHour!
How do you define your family? You may think of blood relatives, close friends, romantic partners, or someone else entirely. Regardless of your definition, @DianaAdamsEsq says there’s no reason that non-traditional families shouldn’t have the same rights.

Press play for the incredible coverage of @thenameisviv from @EqualityFed and @shannonminter5 from @NCLRights (and me from @PRAEyesRight). Stay for my quote: "These are violent solutions to a problem that doesn't exist." https://t.co/268gxU4VlQ

Blood relations are just the default settings to family. We get to customize our own bespoke set. 🌈🙌🏼
@stephaniebri22 Just keep these words. They’ve helped me so much. I am full of sorrow over their words and actions.

This is the awful way many #LGBTQIA people are treated by family of origin. I am rejected by most of my bio family too. Chosen family saved my life. I wish for each of you a family (perhaps of non-relatives) who make you feel cherished & chosen.
