Hey fam. I’ve been a little MIA lately. The past month has been a lot—between producing the podcast, launching the Pride Extravaganza, speaking on a panel, hosting a Pride party, and navigating Anne’s cancer and her surgery yesterday (she’s doing great, thank you 💪🏽💖)—I’m tired. Burnt out, if I’m honest. But I wanted to show up and say hi. 👋🏽If you’ve got a little love or light to spare, I wouldn’t mind a bit of it right now. Drop a 💛 or a kind word below. I’ll be reading them with a full heart and maybe a little tear. ***rfamily

Flashback to that time I was a speaker on a panel.Ya girl’s been busy y’all. 😏There are so few resources out there for LGBTQIA+ family building—and even fewer for our trans and nonbinary community. It’s not just unfair, it’s erasure.We deserve to see ourselves reflected.In clinics. In research. In policies.And yes, in the stories we watch on screen.This moment was part of a powerful conversation hosted by and , following the release of their massive new study on the experiences of LGBTQ+ Americans today. The inequities are real—and they’re calling for action. 🏳️‍🌈

We didn’t wait for freedom to be handed to us—we built it ourselves.In a country where “freedom” is celebrated with fireworks…while Congress passes bills that erase q***r lives,the Supreme Court debates if trans girls can play sports with their peers,and families like mine are still fighting to be seen, supported, and safe—I’m still here. Smiling. Thriving.Because we’re all here. We’re joyful.We’re raising our kids with radical love and glitter in their veins.Because q***r joy is resistance.Because living out loud is the protest.Because families like mine?We’re not going anywhere.

📣 NEW EPISODE ALERT!

From IVF to foster care to film—Haven and Koy have been through it. In the final episode of our , these two parents share their winding, beautiful, heartbreaking, and hilarious journey to their son, River. (Who, btw, is now starring in a movie. Casual.)

🎬 IVF? Tried it.
🦃 Turkey baster? Yep.
👶🏽 Foster-to-adopt? That’s how River came home.
🎥 New film inspired by it all? OBVIOUSLY.

This one’s loud (there’s a kid pretending to be a cat mid-interview), joyful, and real AF—just like q***r family life.

Anne’s back in the intro with me, y’all.
Not because she suddenly loves being on camera—
but because medical leave boredom is real. 😅

She nailed the tagline (finally), and we actually had a good laugh doing it.
Sometimes it’s the little moments that feel the most special—like getting to do this weird podcast thing I love with the person I love, even just for a few silly minutes.

🎧 Tune in to this week’s episode to hear Anne in the intro, Jacob in the interview, and all of us showing up for q***r family in our own ways. 💛

🌈 Induced lactation is q***r AF—and you don’t need a uterus to do it. 🍼

Meet Jacob Engelsman: a cis gay man, lactation consultant, and author of “Lactation for the Rest of Us”. He’s here to blow your mind (and your assumptions) about who can feed a baby and how. Yes, trans folks. Yes, after top surgery. Yes, even without giving birth.

We talk about:
✨ Q***ring the whole lactation game
✨ His trans husband’s transition—and their journey through it
✨ Book-writing, baby-feeding, and middle-aged gay realness
✨ What to do if you have no ni***es but all the milk 😳

Also, I got elected to SLT and Anne joins me in the intro because... she's bored on medical leave and I made her! 💁🏽‍♀️

Life is lifing for the Kelwoods.
In this deeply personal Pride Extravaganza episode, my wife Anne and I share an update on her breast cancer journey—from chemo to unexpected spinal surgery to what's still ahead. It's been a LOT. And we're still in it.

But through it all, we've felt so held by this community. ❤️
