Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. Which means only people in loved should get married. Not puppy love either. Puppy love is what you get when you meet your first boyfriend or girlfriend. Or when you say you love someone when you only meet them for a week or so. It's the love you feel at first sight when your young however, it doesn't last forever. If you are 16 or 17 you can get married with your parent's consent.I don't think this should be right. If you are 16 you are to young to get married. You are most likely still living in your parents, still in high school, and don't even have a mind of your own. You can be taken advantage of. Marriage should take place in the late twenties o the thirties.
I also believe that LBGT should be able to marry and fall in love too. But still not at such a young age. Transgender people have to get a new birth certificate indicating their new gender to then be able to marry the opposite sex. Interesting fact.
The term LBGT is a new one to me and so is the interesting fact you noted in your reflection-- always so wonderful to learn something new!
