The True Colors Tour was conceived by Cyndi Lauper stemming from her desire to give back to the community for the love and support they have given her throughout her career. Through a joint program with the Human Rights Campaign-the nation’s largest organization working for GLBT equality- as well as PFLAG and The Matthew Shepard Foundation, the True Colors Tour will bring together Americans across the country to voice their solidarity against discrimination and for equality and raise public awareness about the issues facing the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. One dollar of every ticket sold will benefit the work of the Human Rights Campaign.
Now, for the first time ever, music legends and today’s hottest artists take the stage for a historical musical event -Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, Debbie Harry, The Dresden Dolls, The Gossip and The Misshapes with host Margaret Cho join in celebration of the inaugural True Colors concert tour in support of the Human Rights Campaign. This 15 city nationwide tour, presented by Logo, kicks off Gay & Lesbian Pride Month on June 8th at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. The concerts will feature five hours of nonstop music with other exciting special guests appearing on select dates throughout the tour including Rufus Wainwright, Sam Harris, Rosie O’Donnell and Indigo Girls with additional guests to be announced.
Dear Violet: letter from a desert grave, by N. Sigafoos, has been sent to the eight leading Democratic candidates for President. Along with the novella, which chronicles the life and death of a lesbian American soldier, candidates received a survey of ten yes-or-no questions regarding issues such as the Iraq War, Don't Ask-Don't Tell, and gay marriage.
The author challenges the candidates to have the courage to make a definitive statement about these issues by responding to the survey. The results will be publicized at www.sigwit.com, and shared with the press in order to help guide the decisions of over 4 million GLBT voters, countless GLBT supporters & allies, and all Americans who value peace and justice.
