I'm Gregory T. Angelo, President of the Log Cabin Republicans. AMA about LGBT representation in conservative America.

Posted: 15 May 2017 07:30 AM PDT

As President of the Log Cabin Republicans – the nation's premier organization representing LGBT conservatives and allies – I'm at the forefront of igniting change within the Republican Party. I successfully helped to rally conservative support for marriage equality in New York, where it passed a Republican-controlled legislature. I spearheaded the submission of an amicus brief to the 2015 Supreme Court case, Obergefell v. Hodges, which was cited in Justice Kennedy's majority opinion. I'm also President of the Liberty Education Forum, a non-partisan think tank that advocates LGBT acceptance among conservatives and people of faith. I was an Alternate Delegate for Newt Gingrich in the 2012 election and have been featured in numerous media outlets, including Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, and more. @gregorytangelo / @LogCabinGOP / http://www.logcabin.org
