"As a straight ally and as a person with many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender family members, friends and fans, I want to thank the Human Rights Campaign, Judy and Dennis Shepard and Senator Edward Kennedy for their leadership in the 11 year struggle to get the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd, Jr. Hates Crimes Prevention Bill enacted. FINALLY, with President Obama's signature, violent hate crimes against the LGBT community will be recognized and prosecuted by the Federal government. This is only the beginning, I believe that the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act, as well as the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, will soon be here. Today, that light at the end of the tunnel for the LGBT civil rights movement is much brighter." - Cyndi Lauper

this was the BEST thing to hear before going to work today! about *ucking time is RIGHT!! I remember the day I heard about Matthew Shepard on the news...I had not come out to my mom at the time and I started crying watching the news...I could see her staring at me from the corner of my eye wondering why I was becoming so emotional about the story.....It's hard to believe now, at 28 the bill finally passed. kudos to his parents for sticking with the fight for that long!!

Any crime is a hate crime. It should all be punished the same. I am of mixed ethnicity so if i got my assed kicked would that be a hate crime against my minority side or just a fight against my white side. This pc shit is getting old. Freedom is what we are losing.

They should make the law retroactive and go back and retry the Gwen Araoujo case in federal court and lock those boys up for life for brutally murdering our beautiful Transgender sister and afterwards went and had pizza.....This is definitely a big step in the rights of lgbt community....

Cyndi Lauper gets our kudos for BEING A GREAT HUMAN BEAN.   I believe artists should use their attention from the public to try and change things they do not like, or otherwise do something about things they believe need changing.

     thankx from a fan who's always admired your work,

TFDS..


its wrong to hurt anyone because they're different. it shud bee a federal crime,  we are all children of the devine creator of the universe,  and that means we are truly brothers and sisters.   lIKE THE BIBLE STORY OF CAIN & ABLE.

WE ALL SHOULD BE ABLE 2 SAY,

YES LORD JESUS, I AM MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS KEEPER.

enuf preacherismo,  GO BUY our girlfriendz latest album and tell 'em Famous Dr. Shabubu sent ya!

'nuff sed!

     Hi Cyndi
  As a fan of your music from your early beginings till now, i've have admired your strength of conviction towards the LGBT cause! I totally agree with you in which "It is about time"! Finally, a real President that will do what others wouldn't touch because of their fears on the subject. I've never been a political person but i say it is time that the Government be in the real world and be realistic on the issues because this matter is not gonna go away! Plus, my wife did a paper on the same issues of the Federal Hate Crimes! about a year ago so i can relate to the matter at hand!........Remy ..
 P.S. I will always remember you with the late Lou Albano! You both were like Peas in a Pod in those great videos! Rest in Peace Lou and thanks for everything.

I thought it was already against the law to assault, kill , and discriminate against people. The time is well past, we should treat people like people and how we ourselves would want to be treated. The final commandment given was to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". This should be our practice in this country, our constitutional rights belong to everyone here in this country.

Finally, it's about time! After everything the LGBT community has given to the world, we begin to allow them civil rights! Maybe the next step will be bigger! I hope so!

i want to thank you beautiful lady we all need help to put away the hate crimes that has hurt us Gay people. We are fighting now up here in Maine trying to get the gay marriage bill. People up here don't think the gay people should abide by their laws and not have our equal rights and i my self wants to get married to the man i love and have been with for the last 3 yrs.

It is way past due. It is my hope that we can get marriage rights passed so that all of us wether straight, an ally or in the GLBT community can concentrate on having good quality relationships instead of spreading hate and hangups.
