Write your personal conclusion about gay families (please write it up with no
less than 50 words).

I think I am a bit old-fashioned, for me to say family is a man, woman and children,
but despite that I do not judge or discriminate anyone for their tastes or sexual
preferences, if I need to support or help I do it, I think it is not something natural,
but it does not affect me if someone decides to form their family as best suits them.
