The HOH8 Campaign

Miss this? The NOHh8 campaign?
On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT community at a grassroots level, with many new political and protest organizations being formed in response.
The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with “NOH8″ painted on one cheek in protest.
Two years since its inception, the NOH8 Campaign has grown to over 8,000 faces and continues to grow at an exponential rate. The campaign began with portraits of everyday Californians from all walks of life and soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities, and many more.
What? The “liberal media” hasn’t covered this?

i think that everyone should just love everybody like if ur gay ur gay if ur bi ur bi and if ur straight ur straight. just be happy with ur self, and if there homophobic then just say whatever and walk away they have their own beliefs. like when lady gaga’s speech for gay rights in washigton D.C and she called obama out.gays should have rights to like really we are people and we deserve respect and rights to marry our partners. and im only 16 and im a homosexual living in prairieville louisiana and i love my boyfriend and im getting engaged so yall want to h8 then h8.

I just don’t understand why people have to meddle in other people’s business so much. Who cares if you’re gay or my neighbor’s gay. Live and let live.
