The NO H8 Campaign

The NO H8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest founded in November 2008 by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley in response to California's Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriage.

Beginning with Jeff Parshley's own NO H8 photo, the campaign quickly snowballed to include an incredibly diverse sampling of the GLBT community and their supporters. They had their first gallery opening about a month ago, and have continued to add to their roster of participants. Even I took a photo!

I recently had the opportunity to write and direct the first official PSA (Public Service Announcement) for the campaign, featuring such familiar faces as Perez Hilton, Shanna Moakler, Tila Tequila, former Miss Universe Brook Lee, Calpernia Addams, and so many more!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone involved in making this happen, on both sides of the camera. As soon as the PSA is online, I'll make sure to post it here! :)
