37 Members Of Congress Pose For The NOH8 Campaign



1. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI)

“Love is love. Whether heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual or transgender, no one should be denied the opportunity to express this love through marriage. I stand strong in my support of the LGBT community and marriage equality.”



2. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA)

“Projects like NOH8 are ensuring that marriage equality continues to be in the forefront of our fight for equality. I am proud to participate in the NOH8 Campaign to help draw attention to this ongoing civil rights battle in our state."



5. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)

“I’m so proud to be part of the NOH8 effort. I think this education campaign is really going to help raise awareness and stop hate.”



7. Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY)

“Our commitment to equality is a reflection our nation’s character and its strength. That is why I am proud to join the tens of thousands of participants in the NOH8 campaign and the millions of Americans across the country who are standing up for marriage equality and fairness for all our citizens.”



18. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL)

"I'm so proud to support the NOH8 campaign. Marriage equality and equal opportunity are one of the most important issues of our time, and this campaign is an important step toward this goal.”



21. Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ)

“We’ve seen too much policy driven by hate in this country. Laws made by hate never expand liberties or protect rights. This NOH8 campaign is about the fact that civil rights and basic liberty extend to all human beings in our nation regardless of any factor in their life, including who they love. This is why this campaign’s important.”
