TRUE COLORS TOUR 2007

Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, Debbie Harry, the Dresden Dolls, the Gossip and the Misshapes with host Margaret Cho take the stage in celebration of the first annual True Colors Tour to support the Human Rights Campaign.

The 15 city nationwide tour, presented by Logo, kicks off Gay & Lesbian Pride Month on June 8th in Las Vegas. The concerts will feature five hours of nonstop music with other exciting special guests appearing on select dates throughout the tour, including Rufus Wainwright, Rosie O'Donnell and Indigo Girls, with additional guests to be announced.

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.

"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.

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?"

Tickets for select cities will go on sale Friday, March 16th.

I blogged a little about this.

Basically my point was is it just me, or does this seem less about "raising awareness" and more exploiting a niche market? The HRC is a worthy charity, but only $1 of each ticket price?

I admit I'm expecialy skeptical because Logo is involved. I haven't really trusted them (inasmuch as you ever "trust" a television network) since they wouldn't run an ad by the UCC promoting a message of acceptance to gays.

But again, that may be just me.
