Be Heard

I was proud to talk about my photo and the NO H8 campaign because I didn’t need an invitation from a friend to do this. I walked up and down that block looking for the location on my own. This was my own accomplishment and I am so glad that I did.

Hate isn't a way of life - love is the answer! We're here to make a difference and show that families come in every shape, size and color! Our family's story is one of hate, love and everything in between. My partner and I (commitment ceremony in December, 1995) had long been working on adoptions...

"Supporting the NOH8 campaign meant a lot to me personally. Everyone deserves to experience love, no matter their color, race, or gender. I have employee’s and friends that are in same sex marriages, I did this campaign with them in mind. I also wanted to set an example for my children, teaching them not to judge and support! ((No Hating STOP hating on love!))

My name is Cathy DeBuono, and I posed for the NOH8 Campaign because more than ever it has become apparent to me that we as a community need to push back, fight back, and speak up for ourselves.  We have been too complacent and too patient with the ignorance around us for far too long, waiting for folks to catch up.  It's time to refuse it, time to draw lines in the sand

My name is Dalila Ali Rajah and I posed for the NOH8 Campaign because art is one of the most powerful movers of hearts and minds . It is time for full equality and equal rights for everyone. I am committed to transforming the dialog between the African-American community and the LGBT community so that we can move forward with a new mutual understanding and respect.
