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

Colors concert tour in support of the Human Rights Campaign. This 15 city

THE DRESDEN DOLLS
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. 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.
True Colors is a celebration of the basic values and freedoms that should be
shared by all Americans. Fans will experience these values through the music
of both legendary icons and the newest and coolest acts this generation has
to offer. "As an American I was raised to believe that all people have the
right to live with the same dignity, opportunity and safety. This should
include everyone no matter what gender or sexual orientation," said Lauper.
"This tour was created to celebrate our differences by raising awareness for
liberty, fairness and dignity for everyone - not just some of us. Our fans
can come out to celebrate a great cause while also hearing some great
music."
Host for the musical events Margaret Cho says, "I am thrilled to be part of
this tour because I am about as colorful and as queer as it gets. Who else
is going to keep all those Queens in line?"
Human Rights Campaign seeks to improve the lives of GLBT Americans by
advocating for equal rights and benefits in the workplace, ensuring families
are treated equally under the law and increasing public support among all
Americans through innovative advocacy, education and outreach programs. HRC
works to secure equal rights for GLBT individuals and families at the
federal and state levels by lobbying elected officials, mobilizing
grassroots supporters, educating Americans, investing strategically to elect
fair-minded officials and partnering with other GLBT organizations. HRC has
close to 650,000 members and supporters - all committed to making this
vision of equality a reality. Visit http://www.hrc.org/ for more
information.
"Without fear Cyndi Lauper has been a champion for equality for not only gay
and lesbian Americans but for all people," said Human Rights Campaign
President Joe Solmonese. "Cyndi has always stood with us and selflessly
used her talents to promote fairness for everyone. We are honored to be a
part of the True Colors tour which will empower both gay and straight
Americans to show solidarity against discrimination."
