Singer Cyndi Lauper dropped in on the White House press briefing Tuesday, then performed her 1986 hit “True Colors” before President Biden signed legislation codifying the legality of same-sex and interracial marriage across America. Lauper, 69, told surprised reporters that she was glad that gay and lesbian couples will be assured of their eligibility for nuptials under the Respect for Marriage Act. The House of Representatives passed the marriage bill 258-169 last week with 39 House Republicans voting in favor. The Senate passed the bill 61-36 in late November with 12 Republican supporters. The law signed Tuesday repealed the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that banned federal recognition of same-sex marriages — denying the conveyance of federal benefits including Social Security and immigration status.
