Stefanos Kasselakis Makes History as Greece's First Openly LGBTQ+ Party Leader

Stefanos Kasselakis was recently elected leader of Greece's left-leaning Syriza party, becoming the first openly LGBTQ+ person in that role.
At 35, Kasselakis is considered a young, political outsider. His surprise victory is seen as a "breath of fresh air" for the struggling party.
Kasselakis is an entrepreneur who lived and worked in the U.S. before recently moving to Greece with his American husband.
As party leader, Kasselakis aims to defeat current Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis and become the country's first openly gay prime minister.
Both Kasselakis and Mitsotakis have vowed to legalize same-sex marriage in Greece, where it's currently not recognized.
