What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

Sometimes, we need the counsel of our friends, or our therapist as we navigate the pieces of our lives that feel too big to bear. Other times, we need the right questions to ask ourselves to uncover what needs your attention most. Give the episode a listen, then dive into the questions for yourself and see what comes through for you.

“I'm not afraid of the hardness of what it means to go inward and to make these decisions on my own. And I hope that you know to trust your own wisdom -- that you know better for yourself than anyone else possibly could. And so this self coaching, these questions of what are you feeling, what you wish were different? What do you need? What do you want? How can you get there in a way that feels good to you? These questions are your guide to unlock that which makes most sense to you and feels right to you.”
