Rep. Joaquin Castro, GOP advisor Mark McKinnon chair new campaign to bring marriage equality to Texa
Texas is among nine states that will be the focus of a $1 million bipartisan campaign aimed at bringing marriage equality to the South.
The national group Freedom to Marry unveiled the campaign — called Southerners for the Freedom to Marry — on Monday.
Congressman Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, and Mark McKinnon, former chief media advisor to President George W. Bush, are the honorary co-chairs for the campaign in the Lone Star State, which will be conducted in partnership with Equality Texas.
“As a conservative, I don’t believe you or I or the government can tell people who they can love or marry,” McKinnon said in a release. “Freedom means freedom for everyone, not just for some. That’s why I’m a southerner for the freedom to marry. And the political reality is that the marriage wedge has lost its edge. This train has left the station and we all need to get onboard.”
