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: Possibly, and if so they are satisfied with the present situation regarding gay marriage but I am guessing that many more want society to allow them to marry.
 Sent2: It seems to me that the anti gay crowd refuses to give gay couples the same respect they expect gay people to give them.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Even if it was certain that allowing same-sex marriage would allow these forms of marriage, that would only be a downside of legalizing same-sex marriage, it wouldn't be a reason that same-sex marriage itself is wrong.
 Sent2: If same sex "marriage" and not civil unions are allowed, then precedence will have been set for redefining marriage.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Remember that people who are not straight currently get married just for the benefits, and people who do not love each other currently get married just for the benefits.
 Sent2: If you think the benefits given to married people are innapropriate or unjust, that is a different topic than denying people the right to marry the person they choose.

SOLUTION:
Not similar
