Cyndi Lauper on As The World Turns
If you have not seen the video it is just great. Cyndi Lauper the person in charge of making this fabulous True Colors tour and leading the cause for gay rights with her speeches and music made an appearance on a CBS Daytime drama. This is not your ordinary soap opera. ATWT – As the World Turns has been around for years and barely knew what a gay person was until Luke Snyder showed up on the show (thanks to Lily and Holden Snyder).
I used to watch ATWT with my mother growing up at lunch time every day during school break and really got attached and addicted to some of the characters. I would have loved to have a Luke on back when I watched the show. It seemed most gay guys ran off or committed suicide on these shows back then. Now they are getting more accepted even that pop stars are coming by to help out with their roles.
She sung the new song “into the night” which is a fun dance song played at many video bars and clubs. Then she did “true colors” and donated that to Luke and his boyfriend on the show. It was really touching to see this on daytime tv.
Here is the video from ATWT. If you have not seen the True colors tour with Cyndi Lauper then you must go see it. It’s a fairly cheap concert and it supports the HRC and the performers were all spectacular.
