Cindy McCain Poses for NOH8 Campaign


Photographer (and major cutie) Adam Bouska - who I interviewed once a couple of years back and posted his responses on this blog - has scored a major coup that will no doubt have the Bible beaters in the GOP base absolutely apoplectic - Cindy McCain (wife of Senator John McCain) has posed for the NOH8 campaign photo series. Tony Perkins, Don Wildmon, and James Dobson, among others have probably wet themselves. Congratulations Adam and congratulations to Cindy McCain for doing the right thing and speaking out against religious based bigotry. Here are some highlights from the Advocate:
*
The NOH8 Campaign on Wednesday announced that Cindy McCain, the wife of former Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, has posed to demonstrate her support of marriage equality. NOH8’s Adam Bouska has photographed thousands of subjects since California passed Proposition 8 in 2008. All of the subjects are photographed with duct tape over their mouths to symbolize that their voices aren’t being heard on the subject of marriage equality.
*
Writes the NOH8 blog: “In the year since we’ve started the NOH8 Campaign, we’ve been surprised at some of the different individuals who have approached us showing their support. Few, though, have surprised us more than Cindy McCain — the wife of Senator John McCain and mother to vocal marriage equality advocate Meghan McCain. The McCains are one of the most well-known Republican families in recent history, and for Mrs. McCain to have reached out to us to offer her support truly means a lot.
