Chelsea Montgomery-Duban has risen to the forefront of LGBT activism over the past few years, and frequently travels the country speaking at various events and functions for a number of LGBT organizations advocating equal rights including PFLAG and the Human Rights Campaign. She is perhaps most recognized for the speech she gave at her Dad and Daddy's wedding in 2008 during the brief window of time same-sex marriages were legalized in the state of California.
"The NOH8 Campaign is doing incredible things to spur on this movement for the LGBT community. They are finding a way to speak out that is more powerful than words. People cannot argue with a photograph, and it's said that a picture is worth 1,000 words; but NOH8 photos do so much more—they show gay, straight, transgender and bisexual people as well as families coming together to promote love and acceptance. Anyone is welcome to a have a picture taken and every single person that does is making a huge statement that it's all about love, not hate. That's why I'm proud to support the work of the NOH8 Campaign and encourage everyone to join with me in their fight for equality!!" - Chelsea Montgomery-Duban
As an official 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the mission of the NOH8 Campaign is to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media, and visual protest.

The photo shoot on THURSDAY is scheduled to begin at 3PM and end at 6PM. The studio will be set up on the second floor of the Bourbon Pub.
You do not need to make reservations; it's first come, first served! Facebook RSVP's just help us get an idea of the anticipated turn-out. When you arrive, you will receive a numbered model release to fill out, followed by receiving your NOH8 tattoo. We will call numbers throughout the day, and your corresponding release number will signal your time to line up to have your photo taken!
The costs of doing a NOH8 portrait break down as follows:
SOLO PORTRAITS .......... $40.00

The lines moves quickly, so don't let the RSVP's intimidate you! We always do our best to make sure that everyone in line by 6PM has a chance to pose for their photo - and up to this point, we haven't ever had to turn anyone away! Anyone that would like to join the NOH8 Campaign is asked to wear a plain white shirt to match the look of the signature NOH8 photos.
Celebrity Photographer & NOH8 Co-Founder Adam Bouska will be working around the clock to photograph 5-10 frames for each person that comes through. The final selection he chooses will be retouched and made available to you in about 8 weeks through the website:
