In November of 2010, Mr. Cromartie posed for the NoH8 (No Hate) campaign to demonstrate his support for the freedom to marry. As posted on towleroad.com, he was the first NFL player to do so.  NoH8’s Adam Bouska has photographed thousands of subjects since California passed Proposition 8 in 2008. All of the subjects are photographed with duct tape over their mouths to symbolize that their voices are not being heard on the subject of the freedom to marry. [Link]
