Who defines a family?

All of us know how belief systems get into our minds; however who gets into us stronger enough to stereotype what a family should be? Is it religion? is it open-minds? is it the homofobic feeling?

No one, a family is a set of people who have a love between them. Where, no matter the blood, your past or your problems. on many occasions, can count on each other and fulfill many goals together, with and without difficulties.

The only ones that define a family are the ones that are part of it, family is not necessarily related to blood, family can be those people who are really close to you and that you truly trust and you would do everything for them and they would do the same for you.
