...Meet the Gay Millennial Republicans Who Want to Transform the GOP
Although Kefalas made inroads with some Republicans by arguing that freedom to marry without government intrusion is a conservative principle, he found that his personal narrative was more persuasive in convincing those who were still on the fence. "Speaking about marriage equality in terms that conservatives embrace was a part of that — individual liberty, personal freedom — I think that helped," Kefalas said. "But I do think most people turned on that personal appeal. If you know someone who is gay or lesbian who has the same aspirations you do, the same family values you do... I think that had more of a resonance in effect, overall."
