Finding Chosen Family Through Music with Tay from FVNERAL
Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.
This week we're joined by Tay from Australia's queer indie band FVNERAL to chat about their new EP Chosen Family, what it means to find community, and how music can connect LGBTQ+ people.
We dive into Tay's journey as a trans non-binary person, the fear of coming out, finding the language to understand yourself, and why chosen family can be one of the most powerful forms of resistance. We also talk about building a proudly queer band, collaborating with other LGBTQ+ artists, the importance of visibility, and the musicians who helped shape Tay's identity, from My Chemical Romance and Laura Jane Grace to SOPHIE, boygenius, and MUNA.
Whether you're queer, questioning, an ally, or simply love hearing honest conversations about identity and creativity, this episode is packed with heartfelt stories, laughs, and reminders that you don't have to figure everything out alone.
In this episode we discuss:
- What "chosen family" really means
- Coming out as trans and non-binary
- Building a queer-led band
- The importance of LGBTQ+ representation in music
- Why visibility still matters
- The artists who inspired Tay's journey
- Advice for young queer and trans people
🎧 Listen now to Tay's journey through music... And until next time, stay perfectly queer!
