I support gay marriage. Love is love.

One of the founding fathers of Hip Hop, RUN DMC's Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels has announced a Anti-Homophobia Hip-Hop Challenge via NOH8, a pro marriage equality anti hate, anti bullying organization.
FROM NOH8:
Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels is known around the world as one of the founding members of legendary Run-D.M.C. - the group widely recognized to be the hip-hop pioneers of the music industry.

DMC was in town working with fellow NOH8 Supporter Pauley Perrette, who put him in touch with us to see if we could work out a time to meet up.

DMC stopped by our studio the very next day to film a special message to encourage fellow members of the hip hop community to step forward in support of equal rights in order to eradicate the homophobia from hip hop culture.

We're excited to debut his NOH8 photo here today, along with his own NOH8 Campaign Public Service Announcement!



DMC joins Russell Simmons, older brother of fellow Run-D.M.C.-er Rev. Run, as yet another influential name from the hip hop community to pose for the NOH8 Campaign and take a stand against discrimination. Angela Simmons and Vanessa Simmons - daughters of Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons. - also joined Russell's group of familiar faces.
