When it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family, you accept them, 'cause you have no choice but to
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test
And you always try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest, when it's family
Some are preachers, some are gay
Some are addicts, drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away, when it's family
Some are lucky, others ain't
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, losers, sinners, saints, it's all family
And when it's family you trust them and your heart's an open door
When it's family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for
When it's family, you love and hate and take, then give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes, try to find some better way
To solve the problems day to day, in the family
You take the trouble as it comes and love them more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent, it's still family
You choose your lovers, you pick your friends
Not the family that you're in, nah
They'll be with you 'til the end, 'cause it's family
And when it's family, you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family, they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
When it's family, when it's family
Let me be all that I should be to the family
Dolly Parton-Family (03:39)

always put you to the test And you always try to do your best And just pray for God to do the rest,

You know, the glory of Dolly Parton is that she doesn't care who you are. If you're a good person inside, it doesn't matter what faith you are, what political party you belong to, or what your sexuality is. She's a genuine, beautiful person through-and-through, and we can't have too many people like her in this world.

The Bible uses the same term to describe eating shell fish as it does to describe same sex relationships; when the right wing begins protesting at Red Lobster...and that was in the old testament.
Jesus says nothing about gays or abortions, just talks a lot about loving each other, feeding the poor, welcoming immigrants, visiting prisoners, and seeing Jesus in 'the least of them.' If it wasn't important to Jesus, it's not important to me.
