Cindy McCain NOH8 PHOTO: McCain Joins Project Protesting Prop 8: Cindy McCain, like her daughter Meghan McCain before her, has posed for the NOH8 Campaign, a photographic campaign against California's anti-Equality Proposition 8. Former presidential hopeful Senator John McCain remains opposed to marriage equality, although he "respects the views of his family".

1) when i first heard of this campaign a while ago i couldn't help but be reminded of the stuff bdu did for last year's day of silence. totally powerful.
ReplyDelete2) i know a lot of people in the lgbt community (including duke students) face hostility from their families, but i can't imagine having a dad/mom/brother/sister/any family member, really, who is such a public figure not being supportive and condemning me.
And here I was just about to send this in as a scoop...
ReplyDeleteAlso - very much agree with anon above about the similarities to and the power of the Day of Silence photos. I remember seeing some of the pictures percolating up through my Facebook news feed and - selfishly - having a moment of thankfulness for never having had to be silent. I know that's pretty bad, but it's honest, and this would certainly seem to be the forum for such a thing (honesty. not awfulness :) )
ReplyDeleteThat campaign to photograph was definitely headed by Matt Lyons--he should get complete credit for that. I took a few of the first photographs for the printed posters, but the FB campaign, which got a ton of attention was all him. We should absolutely continue this each year!
