CUTTING THROUGH RED T8PE

CUTTING THROUGH RED T8PE
September 2nd, 2009 10:00 PM PST

Gloria Allred, a fearless and fervent civil rights attorney specializing in high-profile cases, invited us to her office recently to shoot her NOH8 portrait.



Allred posed for the NOH8 Campaign in one of her trademark red suits, cutting through symbolic red tape that binds the hands of an actual, committed interracial gay couple.

Gloria has been an absolutely huge vocal advocate for gay rights, and has fought many key public battles on behalf of the gay community. In fact, Ms. Allred represented couple Robin Tyler and Diane Olson in the historic case that led to the California Supreme Court's decision to legalizing gay marriage in May of 2008. She represented the couple again when they filed suit against Proposition 8.

"Our law firm is honored to continue this great civil rights battle for them. We will never give in and we will never give up. We will continue to be the change we wish to see in the world and we will never have another season of silence until same gender couples enjoy the same rights as non-gay couples on this green earth." - Gloria Allred on representing Tyler and Olson in their suit against Prop 8

Gloria was joined at the shoot by her daughter Lisa Bloom, a fellow lawyer herself who appears regularly on various news network programs and TruTV. Lisa was equally passionate about the cause, making time to meet at her mother's law offices between interviews to turn this NOH8 shoot into a family affair.



We've also put together a short video of the shoot, including a special message from Gloria Allred! Click the video below to play:
