Singer-actress Rachel Crow has joined
the NOH8 Campaign, the silent protest which raises awareness and
funds for gay rights causes, including ending California's 2008
voter-approved gay marriage ban, Proposition 8.
The NOH8 Campaign is helmed by
photographer-activist Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley. The
pair photograph celebrities and everyday folks with their mouths duct
taped and the campaign's familiar “NOH8” slogan often written on
one cheek.
The 14-year-old Crow, who was born and
raised in Mead, Colorado, came in 5th place overall in the
first season of the U.S. version of The X Factor. Her first
public performance came at the age of six as part of her school's
talent show. She currently plays Starr on cabler Nickelodeon's
series Fred: The Show.
Crow is photographed wearing a white
dress with a scoop neck and the “NOH8” slogan written on one
cheek.
Recent celebrities who have joined the
NOH8 Campaign include actor James
Van Der Beek, Broadway diva Idina
Menzel, actress Aisha
Tyler, singer Miley
Cyrus, Hot in Cleveland's Valerie
Bertinelli, Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves, singer Courtney
Love and Meghan
and Cindy McCain.
