CA: NoH8 Campaign Celebrates Three Years

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

NoH8 CampaignThe NOH8 campaign recently celebrated its third anniversary with a star-studded party at the House of Blues on Sunset.

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 in November 2008. 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.

The campaign, which began with portraits of everyday Californians from all walks of life, soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities and many more. The project has grown to include over 18,000 faces and continues to grow.

Courtney Love Joins NoH8

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Courtney Love for NoH8When we first saw this new picture from the No H8 Campaign, we thought, who is that genderless, tattooed woodland nymph creature?

But then we remembered that the No H8 Campaign hates wrinkles, frown lines, blotchy skin and acne scars as much as it hates homophobia. It was then that we realized we were looking at a picture of the equally revered and reviled Courtney Love. (Although, if someone was to tell us this was an aggressively Photoshopped picture of Bret Michaels, we might believe it.)

Though we might joke about how much the No H8 Campaign wants everyone they shoot to look like a pre-teen, gay-friendly alien version of themselves, we do have to tip our hats to them: Their continued dedication to using celebrities to raise awareness about homophobia is definitely a good thing.
