Anthrax Guitarist Comes Out for Gay Marriage

ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian and his wife Pearl Aday, singer/songwriter and daughter of legendary crooner Meat Loaf, are featured in the NOH8 campaign. Award-winning American fashion photographer Abam Bouska started the campaign as a response to banning gay marriage in California. On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. In the wake of the defeat, there has been a groundswell of initiative from within the community at grassroots level. Seizing this opportunity, new political and protest organizatitions are forming almost daily. The NOH8 campaign is a photo project and silent protest created by Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct reponse to the passage of Proposition 8.
