Yes you can change and redefine terminology but not without compromising the original definition so therefore it is not as easy as you suggest.
When law is used to ratify terminology redefining any terminology presents great risk.
Marriage is such a term which rites have as far as we know always related to people of oposing genders consented to formally unionise their relationship usually with mutual intent to procreate and produce their direct descendants.
A question I would like to see answered and answered truthfully beyond any baggage of dissassociation disorder and have yet to have seen asked is what is this sudden infatuation within the gay comunity to marry ?

What about people who marry, but don't procreate - are they not really married?
Why can't two people of sound mind and legal age who love each other and are committed to each other, marry? Why does their gender matter? They don't want extra rights, just the same rights (legal and civil)..
Same-sex marriage cannot be shown to have negatively affected any traditional marriage in any way whatsoever, ever – even if that was a factor for basing a law on. Which it isn’t.
Same-sex marriage in states that now allow it has had zero, repeat zero, impact on the lives and livelihoods of people who oppose it. No church has been forced to perform marriages that they oppose, just as they didn’t have to perform marriages they opposed prior to the legalisation of same sex marriage – hysteria not withstanding. Marauding bands of sparkly homosexuals don’t roam the streets waving guns, forcing straights into gay marriage. Law and order and life seems pretty much the same now as before. The earth’s orbit hasn’t changed.
Same-sex marriage deprives nobody, not one single person, of any right that they have at this exact moment
