Cyndi Lauper, singer of such ’80s hits as “Time After Time” and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” said today that she would play in North Carolina after the passage of the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, a bill that restricts biological males to men’s restrooms and biological females to women’s restrooms. Despite disagreeing with the law, Lauper says she is going to honor her North Carolina fans, some of whom are in the LGBT community.

Lauper is an outspoken supporter of LGBT rights, and frames her case for playing scheduled shows in North Carolina, rather than boycotting a la Bruce Springsteen, as one of solidarity for those who live in those areas affected by the law. “I think that people will need us there,” she said. “Wherever there’s a shutout, wherever there’s people who don’t accept other people, the other people need you.”

Proponents of the act have described it as a commonsense measure that maintains the longstanding right of, for instance, women and girls to use multi-person public restrooms that are not open to biological males.

Lauper just received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday and is the founder of the True Colors Fund, an organization dedicated to helping homeless LGBT youth.
