Beth Ditto Happy Being A Big Fat Dyke!

The 26-year old diva singer of the group The Gossip tells The Telegraph she’s happy being a “big fat dyke”.

‘I didn’t hate my body. Other people did, which was hard to understand. ‘There was this fat-girl revolution. My whole life I’d felt that because you were fat you were never going to be successful, and then I met these people who said, “Actually, that’s not true. It’s sexy.”’

‘You can spend all that energy trying to change who you are and not get important things done, or you can accept it and do what matters. If what matters to you is starving yourself and working out, then that to me is so depressing. In the meantime you could be making a really amazing song or painting a great picture or meeting people who actually care about you.’
