Ten members of Congress pose for NOH8

Adam Bouska’s iconic NOH8 photography campaign against Prop 8 has 10 new supporters: members of Congress who recently posed for photos for the campaign. Only one of them identifies as LGBT; the rest are allies.

Bouska set up an exclusive “NOH8 on the Hill” event for members of Congress, and ten members of Congress took photos and submitted statements of support for the campaign. The campaign was aimed at all members of Congress regardless of party affiliation, but only Democrats had their photos taken. See their names and photos at the HuffPo article linked above.

This is absolutely inspiring. NOH8 is becoming a really significant activist cause in this country and a really easy one to get involved with, and it speaks volumes that these individuals got involved. Bravo.
