'Glee' co-star Kevin McHale, comedian
Margaret Cho, transgender actress Candis Cayne and Kiss frontman Gene
Simmons have 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 photo, Simmons is wearing sunglasses and pointing with
one hand while signing “I love you” with the other.
Forty-two-year-old comedian Cho, who
plays paralegal assistant Teri Lee on cabler Lifetime's Drop Dead
Diva, displays
several of her brightly colored flower tattoos as she poses for the
campaign.
Cayne,
who is best known for playing transgender mistress Carmelita on the
ABC drama Dirty Sexy Money, and McHale,
who plays the role of Artie Abrams on the Fox music-comedy Glee,
are photographed wearing white v-neck t-shirts.
Simmons and Cho have previously worked
with the organization.
