True Colors , arranged for flute choir . ensemble by me , Ray-Michael Kauffman. 
 Composed by B. Steinberg & T. Kelly, & this song was nominated 2 times for a Grammy , recorded by Cyndi Lauper.   Also performed by Phil Collins, and Eva Cassidy and many more.
This arrangement  is part of the " Compositions that Care" which means all money raised goes directly to charity, in this case  LGBTQ+ community, such as housing for youth whom may be thrown out of their housing or had to run away, for hate crime victims/ survivors, shelter, medical treatment and supplies and any other need .
This arrangement is very special and personal for me, because I am a Hate Crime victim /survivor as well.
Even in today's society , where about 20% or less of Hate Crime Victims  even report attacks or even serious physical harm. The laws have been changing slowly in the last  10 years , taking away penalties and sentencing from this heinous crimes.  Legislators  and law makers have diminishing what defines hate crimes, if hate crimes deserve additional  sentencing, taking away laws that would ensure and help to protect this minority population most vulnerable to being victims.  And not just in the USA, but around the world LGBTQ+ persons , are being attacked , imprisoned, and even murdered everyday .
  IIn the USA, Even  where as victims like myself are seriously harmed , and in the hospital , requiring surgery, permanently maimed , broken bones, etc.  most criminal perpetrators get minimal sentencing , even probation . And as in my case, these criminals had have multiple other serious convictions of physical harm to others and even serious gun charges.
Please make your voice heard, help protect yourself, or your family, friends, and loved ones by contacting law makers local and federal to let them know this is not ok, and laws need to be changed to protect every person .

Thank you for watching.
