'Kiss'' Paul Stanley Urges Everyone To Support Gay Rights In NOH8 Video

In a NOH8 Campaign video released Friday, Kiss frontman Paul Stanley urges everyone to get involved in gay rights.

“There are a lot of things that make us different,” Stanley says in the video.

“But there's one very important thing we have in common. We're all human beings, created equally.”

“It's not about gender or race or age or what political party you belong to,

” he says, then adds, “Nobody is free until we're all free.”

“It won't get better, until we make it better,” Stanley says. (The video is

Kiss bassist Gene Simmons is among the celebrities featured in an earlier

 NOH8 Campaign video on gay bullying released last month. The video

 also features Cindy McCain, wife of Arizona Senator John McCain,

 disagreeing with her husband on the military's ban on open gay service.

The NOH8 Campaign, which is best known for raising funds and

awareness to defeat Proposition 8, is helmed by photographer-

activist Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley.

The group's iconic photographs feature celebrities and everyday folks 

with their mouths duct taped and the campaign's familiar “NOH8” 

slogan often written on one cheek.
