Actor-singer David Hasselhoff and
syndicated columnist Dear Abby 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 59-year-old Hasselhoff is best
known for playing Michael Knight in the NBC series Knight Rider
and Los Angeles County lifeguard Mitch Buchanon in the syndicated
series Baywatch.
Last year, Hasselhoff's daughter,
18-year-old actress Hayley Hasselhoff, posed
topless for the NOH8 Campaign.
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.
Hasselhoff is wearing a white t-shirt
and gives two thumbs up in his photograph.
Dear Abby is photographed wearing a
white business shirt as she crumples up a newspaper with both hands.
Her advice column, simply called Dear Abby, is known for its
“uncommon common sense and youthful perspective,” according to
her publisher.
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.
