I think that people who created marriage at that time didn't have any LGBT couples yet. So they have just invented a bounding system just between a men and a women.It was an enviromental reason at that time that they haven't created any legal rights for LGBT people.
Therefore, countries who experience LGBT relations should change their constitution according to this to adapt to the current situation.

Is marriage necessary ?
Marriage... nice word!
We talked about gay marriage and what marriage is in class these weeks but before talking about marriage in all, I think that the most important question is : Is marriage necessary ?
I have never understood why human being has created something called "Marriage". I can definitely say that I am an anti- marriage person. Ok maybe I can marry in the future, "don't talk big" our parents say, but if I marry I know that it won't be what I want and I'll be marrying just to satisfy my mates wish to marry.
Why do people want to be bounded to a person during their whole life or want to show their love by a piece of paper? Is it really necessary to show how much you love a person to the society?
It is so irrational that it has never fitted into my mind. As people started to evolve, they have complicated life to themselves for no reason. Has anybody heard of Adam and Eve getting married ?
Going to schools, wasting your time and doing a little work in your job, these rituals, procedures have made our life nothing but a tiring period of time. Then because all of this, people try to spend some time on themselves. But actually this should be their first aim.
People go to kindergarden, then primary, then high school, have a flirt, break up with him, go to university, find another guy, break up with him too, finish the university, find a job, earn money, find a mate,think..(sometimes this stage can be avoided).. engage,... and last step.. MARRY, HURRAY!! Level Completed! They have achieved what REGULAR ,as we say, people has to achieve until the rest of his life. I really don't like this settled mould.
I celebrate deeply the people who can really go beyond this scheduled monotonous stereotypic period of time.

What is marriage?
Marriage is a social alliance between two people who want to be with each other in the rest of their lives. They get engaged and decide if they really want to be with each other for a long time under the same roof, sharing every moment of their day . It is actually a very difficult and dangerous decision to make. It can make your life heaven or sometimes hell if you make any wrong steps before. We have to make careful choices about relying our life on another person because they may not look as they seem after a couple of years ! :)

How do I need to function so that society perceives me as belonging or not belonging to a specific gender?
Gender constantly surrounds us, whether it be in the clothes we wear, the actions we make, or even in the things we see. There are different ways gender is viewed in society. Men must act a certain way and females must too. That is called a gender assignment. The feeling of not being socially accepted when a man or woman does not follow its gender roles, will decrease their confidence and can lead to problems such as eating disorders, depression, or maybe suicide. In order to fulfill the gender role for women they must be feminine. Men will witness this media and begin to feel that women need to be this way in order to be liked. So actually everything is related with each other.

A very interesting video of gender roles perceived by children at 'very' young age.
It's very impressing that each child gives the same response to all of the questions. The way they have classified and portaited gender at that age shows how society indirectly imposes certain ideas to people.
