text: I'm an expert on what I believe, not you.  I believe that we should focus on what unites us rather than on what divides us.  To me, rallying under an ethnic, racial, gender, sexual, linguistic, or cultural banner is un-American.  Do you believe that white people should have parades celebrating "whiteness?"  Nor do I believe that a political party should be celebrating identity politics.  Remember: e pluribus unum.  By the way, I have no objection to CIVIL marriage between gay people, and support civil rights for all people including gay people, but I am opposed to changing Catholic Church teaching on homosexuality because the Holy Bible clearly condemns homosexuality in both the Old and New Testaments.
