"NO H8" Campaign!

Two days ago, my friend Kat (who is also a photographer) from White Cedar Photography asked me and my twin sister to support a large gay rights campaign called NO H8. As soon as she asked I immediately said "yes". Me, my sister and 4 other models were assigned a task, we were to place duct tape on our mouths and place removable tattoos on our cheeks saying "NO H8". I love taking a stand in something I strongly believe in.. and even though I am straight, I believe all people deserve equality. California State's Proposition 8 law bans all gay marriages. And it's wrong. This is why Adam Brouska (the photographer behind NOH8) created this campaign. It's a silent way to protest through pictures, but it sure makes a statement. Many people, even celebrities have taken a stand. How can someone tell another they cant marry because of gender? It's their personal choice and life. Their personal lives shouldn't concern the state, so why ban it? It's unfair and unjust. Government tells us we have separated church from state. If this is true, why is this church value still established within our human rights? Why are gays, bisexuals, and trans genders not "allowed" to get married? If someone loves another, it is their right to marry if they choose to. The government has already spent millions of dollars trying to separate gay partners from each other. The government should give equality back to the gays and start putting their millions to good use.
The government is discriminating gays and because of this Proposition 8 law, many others will start to do the same. I have many gay friends, and I love them all. Their good people and they deserve to be treated with as much respect as straights.
This is why we took a stand, and hopefully those who agree with my beliefs will too.
Equality shouldn't be an option, it should be accepted.
