I don't care at all about why I'm queer; I feel very lucky to have this life, and that's it.

As the Pet Shop Boys said, "we were never being boring."

I feel really excited to have found a way to have an adult queer life that feels great and rich, really different from what I thought was possible and also specifically queer. Chosen family, kinship, living arrangements, parenting roles, it all feels like, 'So this is one thing you can do and you can do it in a queer way.' And that's kind of amazing. I feel that every good thing that has happened in my life has come from being queer.
