TASK DEFINITION: We would like you to classify each of the following sets of argument pairs (discussing Gay Marriage)  into either SIMILAR or NOT SIMILAR. A pair of arguments is considered SIMILAR if the arguments are about the same FACET (making the same argument), and is considered NOT SIMILAR if they do not have the same FACET. A FACET is a low level issue that often reoccurs in many arguments in support of the author's stance or in attacking the other author's position.
PROBLEM: Sent1: This would only be true if homosexuals were trying to marry and at the same time take away heterosexuals equality to marriage.
 Sent2: Since heterosexuals are provided the means to have a happy marriage and homosexuals are not, homosexuals are not equal to heterosexuals.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Therefore, if the bible says gays are in the wrong, allowing gay marriage is no problem.
 Sent2: How is allowing gay couples to marry an "anything goes" version of marriage.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Doesn't really matter what the public is thinking, under current laws marriage is a states issue and unless that state has an ammendment the courts could rule in favor of gay marriage based on the 14th ammendment.
 Sent2: Marriage is and always has been a state issue and the federal government did not have the power to intervene on states issues.

SOLUTION:
