instruction:
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.
question:
Sent1: This is not going to change as same-sex marriage becomes legal in more places.
 Sent2: But when it comes to the other side of the coin, Gay marriage directly affects a couples ability to have their love and commitment viewed under the law and in society the same way heterosexual marriages are viewed and protected.
answer:
Not similar


question:
Sent1: It would require that the government not provide any benefits to any married couples (same sex or not)and their families.
 Sent2: But when the government is promoting heterosexual marriage, it isn't because promoting heterosexual marriage over homosexual marriage is a good thing, and it isn't because heterosexual couples deserve more money or more benefits than same-sex couples.
answer:
Not similar


question:
Sent1: If marriage can be redefined to include other arrangements people may want (right now, same-sex couples are trying to do this) then most certainly it can be redefined to include more people in a relationship to have it apply to.
 Sent2: If inclusion of same sex couples being allowed to marry is what you call "redefining", then the inclusion of interracial couples would also be a "redefiniton."
answer:

Not similar
