Mr. Gary Gots a Friend

Who can determine what makes a family? Is a grandparent and grandchild considered a family? How about a single parent with children? Two individuals of the same sex or unspecified gender? Who is to say, and why should it matter?
Families are like yummy brownies. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are frosted. Some are plain. Some even have nuts. No matter who you call your family member, love is the main ingredient.
