The NOH8 Campaign hit Capitol Hill on Thursday to have lawmakers pose with duct tape over their mouths. Apparently the tape symbolizes “their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world.” Or something. U.S. representatives and senators silenced by legislation? Insert eye roll here.
But for a while at least, things were a little quieter in D.C. as the Democratic H8 machine ground to a halt. Thanks, duct tape!

It does get better!
But, of course, we jest. As entertaining as it is to see senators and congressmen willingly shut their yaps for a while, we want tolerance bullies to keep talking and showing the country what they’re all about.
