The True Colors Tour was conceived by
Cyndi Lauper stemming from her desire to celebrate the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community and advocate for the basic values and freedoms that should be shared by all Americans. Fans experience these values through the music of both legendary icons and the newest and coolest acts this generation has to offer. The Tour has traveled across North America the past two years to critical acclaim and wildly enthusiastic crowds. For more information please visit www.truecolorstour.com.
The True Colors Fund, the non-profit arm of the True Colors Tour and co-founded by
Cyndi Lauper, seeks to inspire and engage everyone, particularly the straight community, to become active participants in the advancement of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) equality and ensure a strong and vibrant GLBT community.
