MÖTLEY CRÜE - Nikki Sixx And Fiancée Join NOH8 Campaign
May 30, 2013, 11 years ago
MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx and his fiancée, model Courtney Bingham, have joined the NOH8 campaign. Sixx recently stated, "Courtney and I believe in freedom of choice, no matter your sex. We believe you should be able to be yourself, love who you want and not be criticized for it. We believe in LOVE!"
The NOH8 Campaign is a charitable organization whose mission is to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media, and visual protest.
NOH8 was created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the State of California's passage of Proposition 8 in 2008 that banned same-sex marriage. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with NOH8 painted on one cheek in protest.
Other notable musicians involved with NOH8 include SLASH, as well as GENE SIMMONS and PAUL STANLEY from KISS. Further details can be found here.
