In November 2008, California amended the state constitution to ban same-sex marriages. Shortly thereafter, a silent, but viral, grassroots movement took hold and the NOH8 Campaign was born. It wasn’t long before this powerful, yet peaceful, protest made its way to Second Life.
From the NOH8 SL website:
What Is NOH8 SL?
NOH8 SL™ is a photography project started by Trace Osterham in Second Life™, in support of Adam Bouska’s real life anti-Proposition 8 campaign. Photos of nearly 350 avatars have been taken for the cause, and will be shown at an in-world gallery.
The NOH8 Gallery is now open on the Cupcakes Sim. There you will find a display of the photographs Trace has taken. There is also a photo studio where you can take your own NOH8 photo and upload it to the NOH8 on SL Flickr Group, founded by Francois Ghost.
Visit the gallery and lend your voice, your face, to the campaign for equal rights for every couple, regardless of gender. Because, in the end, it’s all about love.
I am proud to take part in this campaign and I want to publicly thank Trace for the stunning photograph. I hope you will all join the hundreds of us who have taken up the cause. Please read more about the RL NO H8 Campaign here.
