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: But if a law discriminates against someone on the basis of sexual orientation, then the law should stand unless it is applied differently to gay people than to heterosexuals.
 Sent2: Your argument that no-same-sex-marriage is not discriminatory on the basis that homosexuals can just marry people of the opposite sex could just as easily be used to argue that Jim Crow laws do not discriminate against Black people.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: I believe that gay people have just as much of a right to be married as straight people.
 Sent2: I'm not saying I'm completely for gay marriage, but I believe that if two people love each other, they have the right to marry.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: 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.
 Sent2: Gay people aren't prevented from marrying each other, they just don't get the benefits that are given for it.

SOLUTION:
Not similar
