What's up guys, it's your favorite internet queers. I'm Ashley Gavin.

I'm Alina Joy and I'm Mack and Jame and we are here to tell you about our new podcast chosen

family on the Forever Dog podcast network. Each week we're bringing you a topic or a theme related

to Queer Life to the family dinner table to weigh in, deliberate and discuss the right thing to do.

The smart thing to do and the dumb thing we know is dumb but we'll probably end up doing anyway.

Hey we never said we were perfect. I am perfect. Okay. We'll be talking about everything from our

own dating lives, sex lives to dealing with family and friends IRL. Then we'll invite you

our stunningly gorgeous listeners to join in on the family conversation by answering any of your

questions and dilemmas. Listen to chosen family podcasts every Wednesday on Apple podcasts,

Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also watch every episode on YouTube to get

the full family experience. Enjoy. Forever. Go!

cabin in New Jersey neither Melissa nor Allison had seen the engagement ring yet. Beautiful.

They had great reactions in person which I do appreciate. I had to wear it. Allison to put it on,

yes. Allison encouraged Melissa to put it on. I don't know that Melissa's first thought would have

been let me wear it but it's nice because then you can get a real angle on it. You can see from

your POV what you're looking at every day. Yeah, it's true. I do sometimes just hold my hand up and

go like, I'm engaged. The amount that you are so obsessed with the engagement is delightful.

Thank you. After years of acting like you didn't give a shit if it ever happened or whatever,
