Celebrating the colorful stories of chosen families.
CHOSEN FAMILIES SHAPE LGBTQIA+ INDIVIDUALS
DID YOU KNOW?
ACCORDING TO A STUDY CITED BY GLAD, 39% OF QUEER
ADULTS HAVE FACED REJECTION FROM THEIR BIRTH FAMILIES.
In 2024 we are creating new lineage, because not all families are born... some are chosen.

CHOSEN FAMILY, ON & OFF
THE FIELD
MEET ESWINN, JOSE & NAPOLEON
Growing up as a young queer kid, full of Dreams, Goals, and an Immense love for the Arts, Was very difficult. I went through a rough childhood without a chosen family. I fought my own battles and overcame obstacles just as I am till this day. The difference now is that I have a chosen family. Through all of the hardships, I was able to find myself, bloom, and know who I am by having those people by my side. I felt lucky to learn that I was accepted by my biological family, especially my Mother who is the most important person in my life. She taught me to be kind, have infinite love, empathy, resilience, and strength. My best friends who accept me just the way I am, help me gain confidence, guide me, and are there for me when I’m at my lowest moments of my life. I am thankful for each and everyone of these individuals as they are my “Chosen Family”.

As queer people, we are given the unique opportunity to find family outside of our bloodlines and within the roots of our own community. I know for me, having my chosen family has helped me embrace all the different facets of myself that maybe I used to hide or be ashamed of. The power of chosen family truly makes all the difference in keeping queer lives and spaces alive, thriving, and able to continue to fight for a seat at the table. I love my chosen family because they’ve helped me realize my strength, and for every queer person out there in the world, I hope that they know one day they will find theirs too!

My artistry and love for dance has connected me with so many individuals who share the same passion as mine. Over time we've overcame so many obstacles that have bonded us together. I've gained so many sisters and brothers through dance and NFL cheerleading. They've become my chosen family, my forever family.
