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: Nor does this exclusion rationally further the State's legitimate interest in encouraging heterosexual married couples to procreate.
 Sent2: If the state has a legitimate state interest, then discrimination is justified.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: It seems to me that the anti gay crowd refuses to give gay couples the same respect they expect gay people to give them.
 Sent2: If gays deserve special treatment then I think single people should be given special priveleges to, to encourage them to create families and so they won't feel left out.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: We are asking that this restriction be removed so that the right to marriage is allowed to both same-sex and opposite-sex couples.
 Sent2: We should allow same sex marriage because we as a country believe in equality for all people.

SOLUTION:
