I'm not 'closer' to any of my actual DNA relatives than I am to at the very least, my "Top 25" gay friends. I've considered that 'gang' my actual family since college days back in the 70s.
And many/most of them are the same about that. During the AIDS crisis back in the 80s we all found it galling how hospitals refused to acknowledge that in regards to visitation.
(One notable exception was those I was helping in the HIV Volunteer group I was in. One time with 'R', the family was ordered out of his room for a procedure, and I was allowed to stay.)

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
