LeAnn Rimes For Marriage Equality Campaign “NOH8”

The Advocate reports:

Pop singer LeAnn Rimes is the latest celebrity to stand up for LGBT equality by posing for the No H8 campaign.

This isn’t the first time Rimes has stumped for equality. While performing in concert with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles last December, Rimes admitted to being saddened by the bullying epidemic. “It’s really sad when people can’t be themselves,” she told the audience, before dedicating “The Rose” to LGBT teenagers.

The No H8 Campaign, launched by photographer-activist Adam Bouska and his partner, Jeff Parshley, enlists a variety of socially conscious people with their mouths duct-taped and the No H8 slogan often written on one cheek.

And he is part of the NOH8 Campaign as well:

Lovely, isn’t he? And he’s British. Can’t get any better.

Celebs, Activists & A Politician On Bullies

Cindy McCain: DADT Enables Bullies

The Advocate reports:

While Sen. John McCain insists that he will filibuster any attempt to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, his wife Cindy denounces the ban in a new ad for the NOH8 campaign, where she connects antigay laws to the culture of bullying that drives vulnerable LGBT youths to suicide.
Cindy and Meghan have expressed their strong support for gay rights in the past, putting them at odds with their husband and father. However, Cindy’s appearance in the new ad marks the widest rift yet in her public stance versus the senator, who has vowed to stop any effort to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in the lameduck session.
“Our political and religious leaders tell LGBT youth that they have no future,” says McCain in the celebrity-studded ad. “They can’t serve our country openly.”
She even links the toxic messages sent by lawmakers to bullies who then mistreat LGBT youths.
“Our government treats the LGBT community like second-class citizens,” she says. Why shouldn’t they?”
