The beautiful little girl from The Cosby show is all grown up and now she is a gorgeous model for the NoH8 Campaign. The NOH8 Campaign is a charitable organization whose mission is to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media, and visual protest. Raven Symone is an American actress, singer, songwriter, comedian, dancer, television producer and now activist! Many celebrities have posed over the years for the campaign which promotes marriage equality and a hate free world.
In 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California. This was an amendment in the state Constitution that banned same sex marriage.This created a world-wind of protests. The LGBT community took action as well as many others working along with them.
The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the LGBT 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. These pictures feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by the proposition and similar legislation around the world, with “NOH8” painted on one cheek in protest.
Three years later the NOH8 Campaign has grown to more than 20,000 faces and is continuing to grow. The campaign began with portraits of everyday people from California and soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities, and many more.
