Singer, songwriter and activist Cyndi Lauper is one of the best friends the LGBTQ+ community has ever had. Her multi-artist “True Colors” tours, which ran from 2007-2010 and raised funds for the Matthew Shepard Foundation, PFLAG and Human Rights Campaign – and the founding of True Colors United in 2008, which continues to help homeless LGBTQ+ youth – are just a few examples of how.
