Question
Can two females be called a family? And also, can they be successful with their relationship and life?
Answer
Families are groups of people who love one another, support one another and call themselves a family. The sex of the members is not really important except in the eyes of the law, which currently does not acknowledge couples of the same sex. However, there are many families that include two parents of the same sex as well as children.
