Yes, and as Ajahn Brahm also says groups, like Buddhists speaking out about how they understand the issue of same sex marriage will put the right type of pressure to allow for changes needed - it is not about control and power. As he also discusses, the legal meaning of a word and legal definitions often need to change to allow for inclusion and to disregard the discrimination and control which has existed.
