Change the definition of the word, as Rouge said, it happens every day. "Gay" used to mean "happy". Now it doesn't. Things change.
I don't see how the 'traditional definition' has anything to do with what they want to call it. "Marriage" is in the public domain, and cannot be denied to individuals based on their (ugh) 'traditions'. Marriage is a public good, now.
Golf was 'traditionally' men-only. Does that mean women have to go find their own golf courses to play at... and can they call it golf? Or will they have to call it civil-hard-wiffleball? (they do, after all, start at different tees...)
