The Pride Celebrations each June, the rainbow flag, and The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt are all things that make a visible difference. Who doesn't recognize panels of The Quilt when you see them, or the rainbow flag? Well, the NoH8 Campaign is another example. Photographer Adam Bouska created this visual program along with partner Jeff Parshley, back in 2009 in response to California's Proposition 8, the ballot proposition opposing same-sex marriage.
Openly gay Bouska has really made a difference taking pictures of thousands in the past eight years. I remember seeing a friend at work with the NoH8 on his cheek. It made an immediate impact on me. There is something very empowering seeing your favorite celebrities, including many non-gay people, in these poses with the duct tape and the NoH8 lettering.
Our lgbtq community is fortunate to have so many great leaders. There just aren't enough days in the month to mention everyone, but I encourage you to mention some others for me, using the comments section below.

(I love looking through all the pictures). Adam makes a difference in many other ways as well. I really appreciate all of his positive and encouraging tweets.
