Photographer Adam Bouska very recently captured Jane Lynch’s No on H8 pose as part of his No on H8′s photo campaign protest. They were kind enough to allow us to post her photo here.
In case you can’t read it from there, the stopwatch says, “Sylvester.” Please add that to our Amazon wish list, thanks. You can buy the photo from No on H8′s website here – all proceeds from sales of these pretty pretty shots go towards materials for these photo shoots and the anti-hate campaign itself. Other Glee cast members also posed for the campaign – check out Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale’s shared photo here.
For those not familiar with the campaign, it’s pretty great, like a extremely better version of those silent protests during college to register dissatisfaction with the war or tuition hikes or not having enough vegan options on campus. Photographer Adam Bouska was so riled up by our state’s passage of Proposition 8 (we continue to be embarrassed that California persists in participating in things like blatant discrimination) that he started assembling a “photographic silent protest” against people who hate people who love. Each participant is duct taped to illustrate how their/our voices are “being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with ‘NOH8′ painted on one cheek in protest.”
We couldn’t have not said it better ourselves. Now, let’s re-shift the big fight to something more general, like, say, fighting against homophobia, shall we?
