Turnin my back on h8. Movin forward to equality.
Photos from our November shoot finally came in! NOH8 is an amazing cause that I’m so proud and blessed to be a part of. I am truly so thankful for my friends who were able to make it out with me and participate in the international silent campaign. Chris Jocson, publisher of Hyphen magazine & I were also interviewed for the Newark Patch representing Hyphen.

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.
