Larry King, the former host of CNN's
Larry King Live, has joined the NOH8 Campaign, which raises
awareness and funds for gay rights causes, including ending
California's 2008 voter-approved gay marriage ban, Proposition 8.
The NOH8 Campaign, which is helmed by
photographer-activist Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley,
photographs celebrities and everyday folks with their mouths duct
taped and the campaign's familiar “NOH8” slogan often written on
one cheek.
In his photograph, King, 77, is wearing
a red tie and matching suspenders while holding an old-fashioned
radio microphone.
According to the group, King is also
set to star in an upcoming PSA for Freedom to Marry's Say, I Do
campaign, which
urges President Barack Obama to endorse gay marriage.
Earlier this year, the
interviewer also recorded a video urging New Yorkers to support
marriage equality.
Other celebrities who have recently
posed for the campaign include Miss
USA Alyssa Campanella, R&B singer Mya,
rapper Darryl
“DMC” McDaniels and Spanish-American actress Charo.
The
campaign received a huge boost in January when NCIS
star Pauley Perrette wore a strapless dress that featured the NOH8
Campaign's logo to the People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles.
