Cyndi Lauper Sez, "Fuck You, Conservacunts!" / Queerty

Gay activists have lauded Cyndi Lauper's recent announcement that she's touring on behalf of gay non-profit, Human Rights Campaign. Some gaycist politcos, however, aren't feeling so celebratory.
To celebration the , Lauper headed over to NBC's Today Show - an appearance of which conservative Brent Bazell's Media Research Center wrote:

Co-host Meredith Vieira played the publicist alongside her, asking her to explain how a dollar from every ticket goes to "something very important," that being the Human Rights Campaign.

Not "something very liberal" or "something very pro-Hillary."

This reaction comes as no surprise, especially considering Lauper has taken a hard stand against America's conservatives. And, equally unsurprising, Lauper doesn't give a shit.


Homo-Journo Joey Hood broached the topic in a recent HX interview. Since the interview won't be appearing until June, Lauper's truly colorful replies will be long-dated and they've been axed by EIC Brandon Voss. Thus, Hood - with BV's ever-loving approval - thought he send the excised text our way.

Check out what the iconic pop star has to say, after the jump.
HX: What about a possible conservative backlash a la the Dixie Chicks? Brent Bozell and a few other Republican commentators have made some pretty hateful remarks about your Today show appearence.


Cyndi Lauper: Oh really? Who gives a shit? They can take their conservatism because let me tell you something, if you live in America and you believe in equality for all which is one of the basic foundations that this country and Constitution was built on, then you can't turn around and say the home of the free except for you guys over there.

You never know, Mr. Conservative when they're going to turn around and say except for you guys over there. Because you know what?

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. You like your freedom of speech? You like your freedom of lifestyle?

You come to this country to have equal opportunity, well then, brother and sister, it got to be equal. If you're going to talk the talk, baby, you've got to walk the walk. Don't give me crap.

I've been to Catholic school. I know the drill. I ain't scared of nobody.

The conservative backlash? Ooh, that really hurts my feelings. I'm sorry.

I'm tired. It's been a long day.
(assistant asks): Do you know what conservative Web site this was on?


Cyndi Lauper: Oh, who cares? Well, God bless him because that's why we have freedom of speech in this country. He's exercising his freedom of speech as an American exactly like I am.

Ain't it swell? I am sorry. When I first came out, I was singing 'She Bop' and they had signs that said "Jesus Loves You.

" I wanted to carry my own sign that said, "I know."
comments here!!


Cyndi is amazing and gotta feel her LOVE. Remember
she has a Lesbian sister..

but even if she didn't Cyndia
has always been about equality and freedom!
Cyndia you are the best!!


She does so much for our community and gets nothing in return. Her music is so underrated.Nobody's supported the Gay and Lesbian community longer than Cyndi has.


She's worked with PFLAG, and Matthew Shepard Foundation, and she was at the very first AIDS Benefit in LA,
and she was the first to donate all the profits from a song to AIDS research.
(anyone else do a song like that in the mid-80's?).

Don't think so...

.Go Cyndi!
That's OK "Tracy" you don't have to "except" us, but it would be nice if you accepted us.


Also, "When You Were Mine" was a Prince song, but it's supercool that she didn't change the words. She was and still is ahead of her time.
I'll be at the show supporting Cyndi and the HRC.

Despite what anyone says about the HRC, those bumper stickers make people think.

The purpose of the Concert is to build and support a network of people working together to end homophobia through education.
I believe that education is a powerful tool for ending homophobia and heterosexism, so Cyndi's work is focused on providing educational strategies which can be used to end homophobia.


I believe that education about homophobia is most effective when done in connection with other oppressions. Cyndi Lauper rules!

Race and sexual preference don't even belong in the same sentence for comparison.


You are born a color. You choose to be gay. There is a big difference and the gay choice is fowl and should not be imposed upon others and others should not feel obligated to pretend this act is okay.


What's next on the political correct agenda? Sodomizing children is okay if the parent consents? Give me a break!


I know a girl who has a girlfriend. She told me the story of how they got together.
She said: My girlfriend and I used to have boyfriends and we all hung out together.

We started fulling around and DECIDED we PREFER to be with each other and we could invite a guy into the relationship as needed.
Please tell me where a choice was not made.
Scenario II.

A friend has a gay male family member. The guy was engaged to a girl. The relationship ended and he DECIDED to go gay.


One is not born gay. Instead, they allow their minds to act on complete indulgence and they decide to be gay. No one is born gay despite what any gay scientist claims.

Everything humans do and engage in is a result of Choices they make. End of story.

I agree.


Cyndi Lauper is the Anti-Ann Coulter!!!

!
I love you Cyndi!!

! :)
Yeah I agree, but I don't want to start any trouble talking about that.
But really Cyndi does deserve a lot more fame and fortune right now, that's for sure!


I think Cyndi definitely should be inducted into the Rock HOF next year, she definitely deserves it a lot more
than many of the people who are in there already.
I want to express my Thank You’s to Cyndi and her effeorts for the Civil Rights Org.
I am a very sincere, loning and caring transgender human being and I am in TRANSFORMATION here meaning I am changeing here from how I have been to how I should be.

I am one of many who live in Iowa who are transgender, LGBT here and I am strong in Who I am and even having to face so much here in the work place.
I have been TOUCHED by your Songs and have seen you on TV here and want to know if you maybe coming to Iowa. They have a Arena that is called Well’s Fargo Arena, located in Des Moines, Iowa and it would be wonderful if you might play there here?


I have been trnagendered all my life almost and where I am changing here here and have been on hormones for almost 1 1/2 years here now and will be having SRS here done here this next year 2008. I am very comfortable of myself, its just the World isn’t of WHO WE ARE!!

!
I am so Greatful!!

Cyndi, to “HOW YOU ARE’ and for your songs you have written.
I am glad that you have taken on this job here in SUPPORT FOR LGBT here, just as Elton John did for the people with AID’S some years back.
