Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Actress Mackenzie Phillips for NOH8Actress Mackenzie Phillips has joined the NOH8 Campaign, the silent protest which raises awareness and funds for gay rights causes, including ending California’s 2008 voter-approved gay marriage ban, Proposition 8.

The 52-year-old Phillips is best known for playing Julie Cooper Horvath opposite Bonnie Franklin and Valerie Bertinelli in the long-running CBS situation comedy One Day at a Time. She also played Carol Morrison in writer-director George Lucas’ 1973 coming of age film American Graffiti. In 2010, Phillips went public with her lifetime struggle with drug abuse during a guest spot on VH1′s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

The NOH8 Campaign is helmed by photographer-activist Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley. The pair photograph celebrities and everyday folks with their mouths duct taped and the campaign’s familiar “NOH8″ slogan often written on one cheek.

Matarazzo has said that she sees herself and Murphy as complete beings who came together to help one another grow. She stated “I don’t believe that I’ve found my other half.

Actress Olivia Munn Asks Obama to Legalize Gay Marriage

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Actress Olivia Munn wants President Barack Obama to legalise gay marriage. The 29-year-old says she’s “upset” that same-sex unions are still illegal in the United States.

“It’s ridiculous,” says Munn, “and I’m really upset that Obama, as a black man, and all the things that African-Americans have gone through after being oppressed, has said ‘you’re less than’ and cannot stand up and say marriage is a union between two individuals who love each other.

“I just think everyone should be allowed the same rights – if they want to exercise them, they can and if they don’t, they don’t.”
