OMFG - NO H8 Cause


I wanted to make you all aware of campaign that has started out in California. It is called the NO H8 Campaign: No Hate...Just Love---"On November 4th, 2008, Proposition 8 passed, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

In the wake of the defeat, there has been a groundswell of initiative from within the community at a grassroots level. Seizing this opportunity, new political and protest organizations are forming almost daily. The NO H8 Campaign is a photo project and silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska (http://www.bouska.net) and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8.












The campaign started with portraits of everyday Californians who support Marriage Equality and soon rose to celebrities, military personnel, brothers and sisters, law enforcement, lesbian mothers, directors, politicians, newlyweds, and more. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths symbolizing their voices not being heard and "NO H8" painted on one cheek in protest.








The images are being used now for viral/grassroots on Facebook.com and other social sites. Eventually they are expected to be compiled for a billboard campaign as well as multiple magazine spreads. We are currently a Non-Profit Organization seeking 501(c)(3) status. All donations will be used to provide tools to educate the community."
