Cyndi Lauper Unhappy "True Colors" Used in Romney Attack Ad

 Iconic entertainer Cyndi Lauper, whose song "True Colors" has become synonymous with the advancement of LGBT equality, is unhappy about its unauthorized use in a negative political campaign ad.

Lauper has released a statement, saying: "Yesterday, I learned that my version of 'True Colors' was used in a negative political ad focused on Mitt Romney without my knowledge and approval.

While I am in no way a fan of Mitt Romney, my music is meant to lift people up, especially 'True Colors.' The song has been a tremendous source of healing and acceptance for so many people and for it to be used in such a negative way dishonors its history and intention.

I am a huge supporter of President Obama and his re-election, but I have let the responsible party know how disappointed I am the song was used and asked that it be removed from the ad."
