Steve-O's Gay Marriage     4 comments   1 newJune 28th, 2009

Yes, you read correctly! Well, sort of. Steve-O joined the NO H8 Campaign this past week by posing for a special series of creative shots including Steve-O's Gay Wedding Portrait - marrying himself! Steve-O, best known for his Jackass, Wildboyz, and Dancing With The Stars fame, is featured as both The Bride and The Groom in the portrait.

Other special photos featured Steve-O's back tattoo of himself NO H8'ing, as well as Steve-O's personal favorite - a loving portrait of The Bride and his bodyguard Reggie.

Thanks to both Steve-O and Reggie for being such great sports and being so eager to help us with our cause!

GAY BACHELORS AGAINST H8     3 comments   1 newJune 24th, 2009

We recently had the opportunity to take the NO H8 Campaign outside the confines of the LA area for the first time since we started months ago, and we had a blast!

MyPartner.com, a relationship match-making site for gay men, held their second annual America's Gay Bachelor Event this past weekend in downtown San Diego at the W Hotel. We were invited to come down and take photos for the 5 finalists and event organizers, and we had an incredible time! Congratulations to America's Gay Bachelor 2009, Mr. California (Alejandro Rubio)!

Other finalists included Mr. Indiana, Mr. Rhode Island, Mr. Arizona, and Mr. Massachusetts - all of whom you can find on MyPartner.com. We also had the opportunity to shoot celebrity judge Jesse Brune of Bravo's WorkOut fame and the emcee of the event, Rufskin's Jason Wimberly. Last but not least, MyPartner.com President Patrick H. Perrine and 2008's AGB, Abel Lima of Rhode Island!

The Nanny's Fran Drescher is the most recent celebrity to join the NO H8 Campaign! Fran has been a vocal, long-time GLBT ally as well as a crusader for women's rights and was gracious enough to lend us a few minutes of her time to join us in our fight for marriage equality. Fran is also the founder of Cancer Schmancer, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that all women's cancers be diagnosed while in Stage 1, the most curable stage.

Check out their incredible work here: http://www.cancerschmancer.org

Thank you so much for all your love and support for our community Fran, we really appreciate all your hard work! We also promise we didn't sing The Nanny theme song in the car on the way home from the shoot.

Meghan McCain, daughter of US Senator John McCain, came by our studio today to lend her face to the NO H8 Campaign. Meghan, who is also Republican, reminds us that our fight against Prop 8 doesn't just include liberals and Democrats. It doesn't matter what your political affiliation is, you can still stand up for equality. Thank you, Meghan, for taking the time to come out and for being such a great ally!
