Here's to True Colors

Dear Interview,

If you ask me, Cyndi Lauper should have been on the cover of the June 2007 issue. Something like her True Colors Tour is so long overdue, and it is fabulous to see such a beloved artist getting so many others involved in it as well. There is such a critical need for this country to get over itself when it comes to gays or lesbians or transgender people. If I did not make my home in a state that supported my rights as the post-op transsexual female artist-painter that I am, I would certainly have moved to one that does.

So to Cyndi Lauper and all involved in this effort to bring awareness to the plight of so many in this country, I salute you as a woman and as an artist with as much love and compassion that you yourselves exude.
