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: Gays should be allowed to have an official civil partnership which has the same legal status as marriage.
 Sent2: If gay marriage were made legal, the amendment would have to prohibit incestuous marriage and polygamy at the same time.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: The usual reason given for banning first-cousin marriage is because there is a risk of offspring of first cousins having biological problems.
 Sent2: I suspect that those who advocate banning such marriages will argue that marriage between blood relatives brings a danger of biological problems for children who are the offspring of such marriages.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: And some people, who happen to dislike gay people, should not be allowed to use the state to aim discriminatory laws against gay people.
 Sent2: All we have to do is eliminate the laws that discriminate against gay people.

SOLUTION:
Similar
