Cyndi Lauper, Erasure and Debbie
Harry will anchor a summer tour of 15 North American cities
designed to raise awareness of gay-rights issues.
The True Colors trek, which begins June 8 at the MGM Grand
in Las Vegas, will also include the Dresden Dolls, the Gossip
and the Misshapes, along with host Margaret Cho.
"This tour was created to celebrate our differences by
raising awareness for liberty, fairness and dignity for
everyone -- not just some of us," Lauper said in a statement.
"Our fans can come out to celebrate a great cause while also
hearing some great music."
Rufus Wainwright, the Indigo Girls and Rosie O'Donnell will
make special appearances throughout the tour, which is
sponsored by gay/lesbian TV network Logo.
Stops include Chicago's Auditorium Theater (June 12),
Boston's Bank of America Pavilion (June 16), New York's Radio
City Music Hall (June 18), Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre (June
19) and Berkeley's Greek Theater (June 29). It ends the next
day at the Greek in Los Angeles.
One dollar from every ticket sold will benefit the Human
Rights Campaign, which aids the gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender community.
