If there is no reason to change it, then the choice/disposition to be as such should be protected under the freedom to privacy

under that premise, incest, underage marriage, beastiality, etc. shouldnt be restricted either because thats a personal freedom.

The difference is abuse. most of these actions are considered abusive which our society does regocnise as needing protection against.
There is no difference in the argument for why straight people are being allowed to marry and why gay people should. So unless you can establish a credable difference, the argument for straight marriage is just as likely a premise for incest, underage marriage, beastiality, etc. So tell me, why are straight people given legal rights in our society, and why are those protections not given to those of incest, underage marriage, beastiality, etc? And be sure your argument doesnt also establish that gay people should be allowed the rights as well since that would defeat the whole purpose of your argument.

Since you seem inclined to make me go down a slippery slope argument with incest, etc, let me make you go down your own:
"Everyone has the right to get married, two blacks, two whites. there is no discrimination"
Or how about this one, I'm sure you'll love this one
"Everyone has the right to get married.. two men, two women. There is no discrimination."
