Like us On FacebookScreensaversFile: No H8
The campaign features photographs portraying people in front of a white backdrop wearing white t-shirts, their mouths taped shut and "NOH8" painted on their cheek. The phrase refers to "H8", short for "Proposition H8" (pronounced "proposition hate"), a nickname used by critics of Proposition 8. The campaign was created on February 1, 2009, by photographer Adam Bouska and Jeff Parshley. The photos are featured on the campaign's website, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, MySpace, as well as a virtual world campaign in Second Life. By the end of 2010 more than 13,000 faces were included in the campaign after 22 open shoots that were held in 17 different US cities. Some photographers and student groups have even set up their own photoshoots. The campaign photos have circulated on the internet and are appearing on many supporter's social networking profiles. Both LGBT and non LGBT people have participated in the photoshoots. During the Miss USA 2009 controversy, former Miss USA, Shanna Moakler and co-executive state pageant director Keith Lewis encouraged Tamiko Nash, Miss California and Miss USA 2006 first runner-up, and 2008 Miss California Raquel Beezley to attend a photo shoot to protest Carrie Prejean's views on same-sex marriage in the United States. Later, former Miss USA and Miss Universe 1997 Brook Lee posed for the NOH8 campaign. On May 25, 2009, the NOH8 campaign released a public service announcement, and on August 12, 2009, a second PSA called "Coming Out". On November 18, 2009, the campaign announced that the city of West Hollywood, California, plans to make December 13 the official "NoH8 Day." On November 5, 2010, the NOH8 Campaign was approved as a Public Benefit charity by the California Attorney General's office, thus allowing for its current status as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation. The proceeds from the November 2011 music video Attention Please by Darryl McDaniels of Run–D.M.C. and actress Pauley Perrette of NCIS are donated to the NOH8 campaign. Perrette has also supported NOH8 by providing memorabilia for auction and with awareness-raising efforts such as wearing a NOH8 dress to the People's Choice Awards in 2011 and adding a silent protest photo as the background and profile pic on her official Twitter account.
