“So many people around the world are not accepted by their parents or their family for who they are.”
—Rina Sawayama

“I have … created chosen families & homes, not rooted in geography, but in shared passion, imagination, & values.”
—Eli Clare

We’re thinking about the importance of chosen family during the holidays. To those rejected by family for who they are, here are 5 stirring versions of Rina Sawayama’s “Chosen Family” interspersed with history.

Your inability to quote posts is a core feature that both increases accountability and guarantees that nothing you ever post is going to "go viral."

We don't have to tell you after the past couple of years. Going viral is not a good thing. #CoSoTips

Like a plan

In the end, it was up to Jason to bring an end to the Evil Elfs reign of Yuletide terror. But the diabolical creature will be back next year. When dark forces once again call it from the pit.

Wow, what a storm.🤯

Reminder to all #LGBTQIA:

WE have the power to get up, walk away and remove ourselves from people, places, and things that make us feel less than human.

If you have family members or anyone making you uncomfortable this holiday, REMEMBER WE HAVE THE POWER TO REMOVE OURSELVES. Walk away.

We are valid, we are loved, and we are worth a holiday without attacks.

Merry blessings.

How can we work together to mitigate this?

What adjustments can we each make?
