The first song off of Chosen Family is actually a conversation lead singer Chrissy Tashjian is having with someone else about her history of dealing with queerness, and what being queer means to her, ending on the phrase that inspires the title of the album.
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
Thin Lips released Chosen Family on Fri Jul 27 2018.
