Seeing how Canada allows gay marriage, the definition of marriage does in fact include ... gay marriage. I don't think their newspapers have a "wedding announcements" and a "gay wedding announcements" section. Webster's dictionary reflects that.
The words in the dictionary are not "the way things are and shall be forever and ever" they describe the current meaning of things. People use the dictionary definition to argue that gay marriage is invalid. Except that words change and always have.
