Should anyone put restrictions on what constitutes another person's family??The family has been a vital social institution in all cultures; I have yet to see anyone who does not want a family. We must know that regardless of the kind of family one chooses; we should honor everyone and his family. Family provides people with special bonds irrespective of what type of family one decides to have; it's personal.?
Families can come in many forms. Some families encompass a father and child, mother and child, father and mother and their offspring, or adopted children and their children. Now that we consider family as consisting of like-minded individuals who think and act in specific ways, everyone should choose on their own what constitutes their family. No one should impede the rights of others, including gay, trans, heterosexual, or LGBTQ+ members, regardless of one's kind of family. Everyone should have a joyful belonging to whatever family tone finds them.
What fits and works, people should exercise their freedom just as they see fit as a family. It does not matter what one chooses; support all families, and it does not matter whether the family. Family can be gay people, Lesbian people, single people, married and divorced people, or individuals who come together to connect socially, emotionally, and otherwise. The question is, can we frame family in a larger context Declaration of independence text doea "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that their Creator endows them with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.—" Human beings are social animals, and we all have family, and we know about the joy associated with families.
