Answer 3

A family doesn't need a woman to be a family. People don't have to be related by blood to make a family. There are many groups of people that can make a family unit, For example g*y couples, Some elderly live together for the companionship and to be part of a family. Some Friends form attachments through life and remain as siblings all their lives.

Women are needed to bear children so in that respect are needed for a family, but in reality, those you love and live with can be a family unit. Just because its not in the traditional sense that we are used to doesn't take away from the validity of those other types of family units. some people are born into family and some create thier own by choice.

Answer 4

I can only add one point to happygirl's excellent answer.  "Nuclear" families are so often dysfunctional that any group that functions well and is supportive and nurturing of each other should be encouraged.  I deplore hypocritical politicians who insist on lecturing the public on "family values" while telling people which lifestyle is "bad" or "good."  They don't deserve our votes.
