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: Allowing gay marriage without also rewriting common law statutes discriminates against unmarried heteros living together.
 Sent2: And due to the fact that all people must be treated equally under the law because heterosexuals can get married then so must homosexuals be allowed to get married.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: God says a marriage is between a man and a woman.
 Sent2: My problem with that statement, though, is that the bible makes references where it says that a marrige is to be strictly between only one man and one woman.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Just because a homosexual may marry someone of the opposite sex does not suddenly justify keeping them from marrying a person of the opposite sex.
 Sent2: I guess because many (not all) same-sex couples plan when they have children, they do not need the encouragement of marriage that opposite sex couples do.

SOLUTION:
Not similar
