The NOH8 Campaign will be coming to South Florida in February for a series of photo shoots. The campaign is known for its iconic images of people in white shirts, duct taped mouths, and a face marking that reads “NOH8.” Starting in California, NOH8 has become a symbol of silent protest for the LGBTQ community.

In 2008, California Proposition 8, banning same-sex marriage, was passed. In response, NOH8 was formed. Since the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2016, NOH8 has continues to be a symbol of LGBTQ protest, embraced by many around the country.

NOH8 uses still photos of people in white Shirts and duct tape on their mouth, symbolizing the silencing of LGBTQ voices. These photos are taken in photo shoots at various places around the country. In February, NOH8 will be coming to multiple South Florida cities, including Lake Worth Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. In addition to south Florida, NOH8 will also host shoots in St. Petersburg, Orlando, Tallahassee, and Jacksonville.

To participate in the campaign, go to the shooting location on the day and time of the shoot. Come to the shot “photo ready” wearing a clean white tee and any cosmetic you want in the photo. To get a solo photo, the cost is $40. To get a group photo, the cost is $25 per person in the photo.
