Singer Ricky Martin has posed for the
NOH8 Campaign, which raises
awareness and funds for gay rights causes, including ending
California's 2008 voter-approved gay marriage ban, Proposition 8.
The campaign's Adam
Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley photograph celebrities,
politicians, professional athletes and everyday folks with their
mouths duct taped and the campaign's familiar “NOH8” slogan often
written on one cheek.
In his photograph,
Martin is wearing a white t-shirt and his hands are bound with duct
tape.
The 40-year-old
Martin came out gay in his 2010 memoir Me, saying he was
inspired by his twin sons Matteo and Valentino, who are now 4 years
old.

have recently joined the NOH8 Campaign include actress Lana
Parrilla, actor LeVar
