Beth Ditto

From WhatRumors: The Celebrity Gossip Wiki

Beth Ditto is the lead singer of the bluesy punk group, The Gossip. Ditto is as well known for her tendency to appear onstage in lingerie as she is for her musical achievements. She appeared naked on the cover of music magazine NME in 2007. Ditto is a lesbian in a relationship with a transman and is active in queer, feminist and body politics.

“I used to think being queer and fat was easier, because queer people talked about fat. Then I started to realize that people talk a lot, but they don’t act a lot. Like, why does everyone have a thin girlfriend? It’s really fucking weird,” she says. “I do see more thin femmes with bigger butch people, and I feel like that’s more acceptable. But I can only speak as a femme, and why are all these really awesome, hot, fat girls that I know — why are we still getting bummed out about our bodies? Sometimes the media might as well say outright, ‘You’re fat. You’re ugly.’ There are women on radio commercials that are like, ‘I used to be 50 pounds heavier and I was ugly. I just hated myself.’ Wow. Could you be more blunt than that? It doesn’t make it any easier to live your life when people think, ‘Wow, you’re queer and fat — how easy.’”
