Nearly 6,000 Oklahomans showed their true colors Monday night in a diversity-fest unparalleled since last weekend's gay pride festival. Cyndi Lauper headlined her second annual True Colors Tour at the Zoo Amphitheater featuring the likes of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The B-52s, comedian Margaret Cho, "Queer Eye's" Carson Kressley, Girl in a Coma and Erasure's Andy Bell.

The evening was full of ups and downs with Joan Jett delivering a hard-core high and Andy Bell dishing out a Euro-pop low. But the crowd was in its element, the weather was perfect for the show, and Kressley was a hilarious host, ad-libbing between acts throughout the show, whose goal is to raise money for the True Colors Foundation, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender discrimination issues and general human rights.
