NOH8 Campaign
The NOH8 Campaign (NOH8 meaning "No Hate") is a charitable organization in the United States whose mission is to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media, and visual protest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NOH8 Campaign - About )〕
The campaign was created as 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. The phrase refers to "H8" (leet for 'hate'), short for "Proposition H8" (pronounced "proposition hate"), a nickname used by critics of the proposition. The photos are featured on the campaign's website, as well as various social networks, as well as a virtual world campaign in Second Life.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NOH8 Campaign SL's photostream )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.noh8campaign.com/article/no-h8s-viral-campaign-goes-virtual )〕
The images are widely used on various social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to spread the message of equality. 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=No H8 Photos Take Over Facebook )〕
== History ==
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 LGBT community at a grassroots level, with many new political and protest organizations being formed in response. Chad Griffin eventually challenged California's Proposition 8 in a lawsuit that would ultimately make him a historical figure amongst the LGBT community. The NOH8 Campaign was created in 2009 as a result of the amendment of Proposition 8. While initially inspired by Proposition 8, the scope of the NOH8 Campaign has expanded its main goals to fight discrimination and bullying universally as a means to spread a worldview of acceptance.
