West Hollywood Proclaims “NoH8 Day” December 13th!

They are images that run rampant through our minds: men and women, donning white t-shirts and having duct tape over their mouths, while NOH8 is painted their cheeks. The letters are black and the “8″ is in red. The NOH8 campaign is turning three years old and will celebrate its anniversary of “raising awareness for the fight of human equality for all” in West Hollywood, when Mayor John Duran will be on stage to proclaim December 13th NOH8 Day at the House of Blues.
The founders of the NOH8 campaign, Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley, will transform the House of Blues into a NOH8 Gallery, which will feature hundreds of the 18,000+ photos taken since 2008. Bouska is “looking forward to gathering with NOH8 supporters from all walks of life, including special celebrity guest and performers.” He adds that it is a “coming together to reflect the progress we’ve made and the work we have left to accomplish.”
Parshley believes ”there’s no better way we could think of to commemorate our mission than to create a gallery, here in West Hollywood, where the first NOH8 campaign photo was taken, and let these images speak for themselves.
The evening’s festivities will include Adam Bouska doing a special photo shoot with several of the celebrity guests, including Hue Hefner’s son, Cooper Hefner; former Celebrity Rehab cast member Mackenzie Phillips; blonde porn bombshell Jenna Jameson; country darling LeAnn Rimes; UFC fighter Tito Ortiz; and many more.
The doors to the House of Blues will open at 7pm and Red Carpet arrivals will commence from 8-9pm. Photos will be taken on stage from 8:30-9:30 pm, which will be followed by live talent performances. The lineup will include DMC of RUN DMC, Maya, and many other surprises during the night!
The funds raised during the NOH8 Day party will be used for promoting and raising awareness for marriage equality and anti-discrimination, something the NOH8 campaign has done since its inception. Bravo Adam Bouska and Jeff Parshley! Thank you for all you have done and Happy Anniversary!
