Chosen Family by Thin Lips Lyrics
I remember having a dream about a naked woman
And I ran downstairs crying, "Mom I think I'm gay"
Like 5 or 6, I was little
And she said "You're so young, you couldn't possibly know that"
I was comforted by that because I didn't want to go to hell
I was very afraid for my mortal soul, so much and so often
But once I finally settled into it, pushing my own personal boundaries
And unlearning all this like hateful stuff
Queer to me means boundary pushing and love and community and relationship
And chosen family
And I ran downstairs crying, "Mom I think I'm gay"
Like 5 or 6, I was little
And she said "You're so young, you couldn't possibly know that"
I was comforted by that because I didn't want to go to hell
I was very afraid for my mortal soul, so much and so often
But once I finally settled into it, pushing my own personal boundaries
And unlearning all this like hateful stuff
Queer to me means boundary pushing and love and community and relationship
And chosen family
