" But when the girls in school make me play Who Are You Going to Marry, they say I have to pick a girl,” said Basil.

“That’s true in a lot of places, but not here,” said Mom.
“So Unkie Herb doesn’t have to pick a girl?” asked Basil.
“No. He can marry whomever he loves. Mostly boys marry girls,” said Mom. “But

where we live, a boy and a boy, or a girl and a girl, can get married if they love each other. "
