In response to the crisis facing many gay youth, Erasure and The Hetrick-Martin Institute's youth chorus will record an updated version of A Little Respect. A documentary-style video will also be released - and all proceeds will benefit NYC's Hetrick-Martin Institute, home of the Harvey Milk High School, and Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Fund.
In the wake of the tragic gay bullying incidents and related suicides across the country, Andy Bell (Erasure's lead singer) was motivated to take action. As one of popular music's first openly-gay celebrities Bell felt compelled to get involved. "I am honored and moved beyond words to serve as an Ambassador to the The Hetrick-Martin Institute. Every opportunity we have to spread tolerance and compassion must be seized and I will take special pride in doing so on HMI's behalf."
I cannot wait for this to come out! In the meantime, let's enjoy the original...
