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: 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.

Q: Sent1: However, the issue of rights is not the same as it was with race because homosexuals are not barred from marriage with anyone heterosexuals could not also marry.

A: Not similar

Q: Sent1: However, a man and a woman are both "persons" under the law and are not treated differently under the law.
Sent2: However, I could counter this by pointing out that the law treats everyone the same in terms of gay/straight marriage, as well, because any man can get married to any woman at any time and obtain those exact same benefits.
