NOH8 Campaign
Main article: NOH8 Campaign
In November 2008, in response to the narrow approval in California of Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage, Bouska and his partner, Jeff Parshley, founded the NOH8 Campaign to promote the overturn of this ban. While beginning at a grassroots level, by April 2009 the campaign had seen support from such celebrities as: Leslie Jordan, Shanna Moakler and RichGirl and became involved in the Miss USA 2009 controversy. The campaign has now gained the support of:
Adam Carolla, Brooke Burke, Cindy McCain, Fran Drescher, Dr. Drew, Kathy Griffin, Denise Richards, Jane Lynch, Mark Hoppus, Lisa Edelstein, Steve-O, and more.
