"Revenge Is" Selling Gay Marriage T-Shirt to Benefit Prop 8 Repeal Effort

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Don’t be jealous because Revenge Is, a self-described “eco-activist fashion company” (like Tom’s Shoes), beat you to exploiting same-sex marriage for a few sales.

At Los Angeles boutique Kitson last week, (straight-y) actor Hal Sparks “married” Smith & Pyle bandmates Missi Pyle and Shawnee Smith in a faux ceremony hosted by E! personality Giuliana Rancic, which came complete with staged protesters. Aww!

Sales of the label’s “All Love Is Equal” tee will benefit Prop 8′s 2010 repealers Love Honor Cherish, explains Revenge Is founder Marilyn Barrett.
