NOH8 On The Hill #3

If you have been paying attention to LGBT news here in the US in recent weeks, then you are already aware that Supreme Court is due to announce it's decisions on Prop 8 and DOMA (Defense Of Marriage Act) sometime this week. With each passing day, the nervousness and tension seems to get a bit more tangible amongst the LGBT community and it's allies. 

In anticipation of the Supreme Court's decision, the NOH8 Campaign, which is famous for doing pretty amazing photo shoots with various community members, allies, and celebrities, has done a NO-H8 photo shoot with 67 Members of Congress, as well as two Senators, who have spoken out in favor of Marriage Equality. 

This record breaking photo session, entitled #NOH8onTheHill, included Senators Martin Heinrich of New Mexico and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut as the first and second US Senators to pose for the campaign. Also included in this session was Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who is the ONLY Republican representative to pose for the NO-H8 Campaign.

This was the 3rd NOH8 On The Hill photo session done by the campaign. These awesome 67 members of Congress join the 31 previous ones from the other two NOH8 On The Hill sessions to make a total of 98 members of Congress from 27 different states to pose for the NOH8 Campaign.

“Our nation is based on the principle of equality. That is what this is all about" -Rep. Ros-Lehtinen
