Hey David. Great piece. The line "Chosen family is the heartbeat of queer life"...hit me right in the chest man. As a gay Latino who left home young, chosen family is the reason I made it through where I am today. Friends who offered couches, dinners, advise, laughter, and love when I didn’t have words for what I was becoming. Taht got me through it. Reading this reminded me that our real history isn’t just written in protests or parades....it’s written in those small moments of care in our community that keep us alive. I hope we keep them even when this administration is trying to take them fro m us. Again, great piece.
