Cyndi Lauper compares anti-LGBTQ legislation to Nazi Germany, saying, «This is how Hitler started»

Cyndi Lauper compares US Republicans' anti-LGBTQ legislation to Nazi persecution in 1930s Germany under Adolf Hitler.

«I believe you don’t stop the fight», the «Girls Just Want to Have Fun» singer and longtime LGBTQ activist said in a recent interview when asked about a slew of proposed bills making their way across the country, including legislation that would restrict transgender young people’s access to gender-affirming health care.

Since 2020, 18 states have passed Republican-backed legislation prohibiting transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams that correspond to their gender identity.

«This is how Hitler started», she went on, «just weeding out everybody», miamiherald.com reports.
