Hate isn't a way of life - love is the answer! We're here to make a difference and show that families come in every shape, size and color! Our family's story is one of hate, love and everything in between. My partner and I (commitment ceremony in December, 1995) had long been working on adoptions...

"Supporting the NOH8 campaign meant a lot to me personally. Everyone deserves to experience love, no matter their color, race, or gender. I have employee’s and friends that are in same sex marriages, I did this campaign with them in mind. I also wanted to set an example for my children, teaching them not to judge and support! ((No Hating STOP hating on love!))

My name is Cathy DeBuono, and I posed for the NOH8 Campaign because more than ever it has become apparent to me that we as a community need to push back, fight back, and speak up for ourselves.  We have been too complacent and too patient with the ignorance around us for far too long, waiting for folks to catch up.  It's time to refuse it, time to draw lines in the sand

My name is Dalila Ali Rajah and I posed for the NOH8 Campaign because art is one of the most powerful movers of hearts and minds . It is time for full equality and equal rights for everyone. I am committed to transforming the dialog between the African-American community and the LGBT community so that we can move forward with a new mutual understanding and respect.

A short answer to the following question: “Why was it important for you to be a part of this campaign?”  I will do anything I can to help fight for equality.  I would wear a red cape, pink tutu and green socks everyday if it made a difference.  However I think duct tape is much more significant in conveying the silencing of our rights.
