Summary
Friendsgiving can take many forms. Sometimes it’s a replacement for a more traditional Thanksgiving when gathering with family isn’t possible. For others, it’s a bonus holiday to honor friends who feel like family. The ritual has deep roots in the queer community where it emerged in the 1980s as a way to unite chosen families and challenge restrictive family norms. For our next installment of All You Can Eat, KQED food editor Luke Tsai joins us to talk about how to successfully pull off a Friendsgiving meal and what it means. And, we want to hear from you: What is your Friendsgiving tradition?
