My five-year-old just asked me- Mummy , can two girls marry each other? How am I supposed to respond to this question?

my kid has also asked me the same, and she asked me this about a man and man, as well as a woman and woman scenario. to be honest, i was very truthful to her about the entire LGQBT thing. as your kid is 5, you can explain that getting married is all about being with someone you have a lot of fun with, such as a really good friend. that you have to love that person and care for that person and that person can do the same for you as well. once your kid is a little older, say around 8ish, you can explain about other gender preferences as well, such as transvestites, queers and such. i have already explained the same to my 9 year old, and it helps to make them emotionally more sensible and open and be loving and caring humans overall.
