About NOH8
On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT community at a grassroots level, with many new political and protest organizations being formed in response.
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. 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.
Plan ahead, next Friday night we’re celebrating the ten year anniversary of DJ Neil Armstrong’s “Original” mixtape series. In my opinion, some of the greatest mixtapes ever. These mixtapes have had a huge influence on me as a DJ and in my own mixes, it’s an honor to be DJing at the Bay Area’s anniversary celebration party. Let’s go!
come thru! i am.
