The family I was born into, no. I love them all, but they've chosen to disown me and my sister because we don't fit into their narrowly defined sexual roles, so with the exception of Sissy, no I don't like them, and I wish there were some way I could stop loving them because sometimes the conflict feels as if it's going to tear me apart.
On the other hand, the family I've made with Sissy and Grace (my SO) and the way her family has taken us in as welcome membrs has given me a nuclear family and an extended family that I can openly embrace and am proud to be a part of.
