April 21, 2011 - PRLog -- On June 3rd,  individuals, businesses, and organizations are going to take a stand with The Purple Hat Project against discrimination. Hoosiers can show their support by wearing purple and joining us to create a collection of photos and stories of people from around the globe telling their story of love.

As a grass roots response to recent discriminatory laws passed by the Indiana Legislature, The Purple Hat Project is launching the “Faces of Love” Photo Shoot Saturday, April 23rd at Fitness Now! at 435 Virginia Avenue in Indianapolis, Indiana.  To promote love, equality, and fairness.  This event will allow equality-minded people, couples, and families to express love for one another and show that all .  These images will be showcased in a gallery June 3rd at a location to be announced shortly.  

In early 2011 a bill passed through the Indiana House of Representatives banning gay marriage, gay adoption, and other civil rights against unmarried people of all kinds. In response, an article was written in the Indiana Business Journal asking a rhetorical question. "What's next, are we going to make all the gays wear purple hats so we can easily identify them on the streets?". The text of this article can be found at www.ibj.com/maurer-the-indiana-weve-always-wanted/PARAMS/article/25998.
The goal of The Purple Hat Project is to show the silent majority of people do not support discrimination in any form.  The Purple Hat Project’s main focus is to promote love between people.  Co-Founder Joshua Driver stated: “We need to start showing local faces in the state of Indiana to start a dialog and education initiative for equality.  It’s not about politics or religion, it’s about love.”  

Along with a photo of participants, there will be an opportunity to videotape individual stories about love to share.  Hair and make-up services will be provided on-site by the local stylists for participants.
