I agree that prostitution should be legal.
However, your comparison is not really apt because prostitution is a commercial activity and thus subject to greater government scrutiny than private, consensual behavior.
For example, a person is free to never invite an African-American to dinner, but if they own a restaurant they may not refuse to serve an would-be African-American customer.
I am also free to
donate a kidney to someone on dialysis, but
it is illegal for me to sell one of my kidneys. And in some states the
possession of small amounts of marijuana has been decriminalized, but
the sale of any amount of marijuana is illegal.
