My NOH8 Photos 1-250

10/23/2010 - Brit Yarak - I'm posing in honor of my friend Ben. His suicide last year is largely due to his
sexuality and the hate that regrettably surrounds the LGBTQ community. I can't express enough the respect and passion I feel for this campaign.
Ben was so full of laughter and life. Everyone always asks me why he killed
himself. It was the hate. His everyday life was a constant battle.
The NOH8 campaign is the loudest silent protest I know of. Ben essentially
embodies this protest. People like him are the reason we work so hard for
equality; it's so worth it.
