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: It could be called gay marriage or civil unions as long as they have the same equal rights as a married heterosexual couple.
 Sent2: Especially since gays are equal in that they have the same rights to marry as straight people do.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: I think you're getting off course here and playing semantic games--the point I was making was that people haven't said THEIR marriages will be affected by gay marriage, at least from what I've seen.
 Sent2: I'm not saying that companies should add gay partners to their insurance benefits, but I am saying that people have every right to get upset about it, since the companies survive on their money.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: There might be some unforseen harm in same-sex marriage, but if that harm cannot be listed or spoken of, then we have no right banning same-sex marriage.
 Sent2: We have been considering whether same-sex marriage does harm to people, and it's quite clear that it does not.

SOLUTION:
