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.

[Q]: Sent1: If the people of one state want to call it marriage, so be it.
 Sent2: If so, then states need at least a rational basis for making certain marriages illegal, and there is no rational basis for making marriage between people of the same sex illegal.
[A]: Not similar


[Q]: Sent1: In other words, since same-sex couples do not "naturally" have children, they do not need the protections of marriage as opposed to opposite sex couples.
 Sent2: You are using a double-standard that is unfair not only to couples, but to their children, who end up losing the protection of having two married parents simply because other people don't like the sex of the two parents.
[A]: Not similar


[Q]: Sent1: Marriage is privilege not a right, because not every heterosexual couple even gets granted the right to marry... the state has a right to regulate what impacts the welfare of the union as whole.
 Sent2: "Gay Marriage" is not any where close to being on par with "heterosexual marriage" where the "general welfare" concerns of the nation have to be addressed.
