Cyndi Lauper just came through town for the True Colors Tour (which has teamed her up at various stops with the B-52’s, Joan Jett, Regina Spektor, the Cliks, Kat DeLuna, Indigo Girls, Tegan and Sara and others) and she was also in Northern California to serve as grand marshal of the 38th annual San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration & Parade.
Though Lauper’s tour makes it clear that gays just wanna have fun, the beloved figure in the LGBT community got choked up on the phone the other day talking about the nature of bigotry and an erosion in civil rights.
