Kristin Bauer, who plays vampire Pam
Ravenscroft in the HBO drama True Blood, 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
her photograph, Bauer is wearing a white t-shirt and looking back
as blood seeps out from under her duct taped mouth.
Yesterday, the group released a photo
of 77-year-old Larry King, the former host of CNN's Larry King
Live, wearing a red tie and matching suspenders while holding an
old-fashioned radio microphone. The group said King was 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.
Last week, Los Angeles Chivas USA
players Justin Braun and Michael Lahoud posed for the NOH8 Campaign
ahead of professional
soccer's first-ever Equality Night to benefit the Los Angeles Gay &
Lesbian Center on Saturday, July 23.
