The Huffington Post: 'NOH8 on the Hill III' Draws Support From 67 Members of Congress (PHOTOS)
In a shoot timed to coincide with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the constitutionality of DOMA and Proposition 8, the NOH8 Campaign today released NOH8 portraits for the 67 Members of Congress who took part in its third NOH8 on The Hill event, which took place in Washington, D.C., on June 13.
NOH8 on The Hill III marked the first time ever a U.S. senator has posed for a NOH8 photo. Not one, but two senators participated in the shoot: Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT).
Equally as groundbreaking was the participation of Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, of Florida's 27th District, who became the first Republican Member of Congress to lend support to the NOH8 Campaign.
Rep. Mark Takano (CA-41)
"As the only openly gay member of Congress from California, I am proud to support the NOH8 campaign. Proposition 8 is a stain on our nation's character, one I believe will soon be removed. All American families deserve to be treated equally under the law."
