if the argument for gay marriage is that people should be free to marry whomever they please, regardless of gender
It's not (primarily). It's about gay partners being given equal protection under the law as heterosexual partners: tax benefits, visitation rights, etc..
It's just that religion wants to keep the "marriage" word to itself.
