Yes, and any faith that will marry two people of the same gender could perform the ceremony or a civil ceremony would do - just like mixed gender couples. At one time mixed race couples could not marry. People even quoted religious texts to justify why such marriages should not be allowed. People still may not approve but have, at least, gotten beyond the need to legislate morality. I think the question of same gender couples will some day come to be viewed as we now do interracial couples.
As to definitions - language evolves, words today don't mean the same thing they did in the past...to the frustration of anyone studying old english literature.
Should gay marriage be legalized? Why or why not? NO - I have 6 dictionaries whose definition of marriage all say husband & wife, man & woman or both - none of them are wrong and I frequently use them for a correct reference as they are the agreed books of the spoken language.... There's nothing in a gay marriage that isn't in a gay relationship, they should invent their own gay faith if they want to perform gay marriage ceremonies, and gay dictionaries for how they want it to be defined
