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.’

So do you know who you're voting for in the presidential election?
I don't know who I'm voting for yet, and people keep asking me a lot. I think that on the one hand, people are surprised that I don't say “Hillary” immediately, but I just don't think civil unions are the best, because “separate but equal” is unconstitutional! It's bullshit, and we've been through this already.

When you were a kid, is there a certain singer that really resonated with you?
Miss Piggy is extremely iconic. There's no one higher than Miss Piggy. It's funny, but it's true -- she definitely was a huge influence on me as a teenager. Oh, and Patty Duke!

So, Roseanne Barr's gonna be there?

Roseanne Barr's gonna be there.

OK, so if Roseanne is there, I'd probably wear something hilarious. Like, I'd try to find that chicken shirt she always wore [on her sitcom]. Do you know that shirt, the one with the chicken eggs on it?
