Fierce!!!!!!!
Gay and proud singer Beth Ditto gives divaness on the cover of the new issue of Out magazine.
It is her first cover on a major US publication. But the musician isn’t expecting the story and accompanying shoot to rattle the denizens of her Bible Belt home town. “I’m almost positive they don’t even carry gay magazines there,” she tells the mag. “This Christian college still runs everything, and when I lived [in Judsonia, Ark.] you used to have to ask for gay magazines.”
In her Out interview, Ditto described her experience coming out in Judsonia as one of seven siblings. “My mom was this incredible island surrounded by redneck conservative America. She taught me what it must be like to be a flaming homo and bullied walking down the hallway at school. My other brothers and sisters were brought up like that too, and they treated me normally.”
The singer, who is in a relationship with a transgendered partner, traced her punk rock sensibility to her high school experience. “I was really obsessed with how there were way more poor kids than rich kids, but somehow it was always the pretty girls who got voted into student faculty and the rich kids who were popular. That made no sense to me because we, the poor kids, were the majority.”
And, good news! We are finally getting a new album from The Gossip some time this year.
Yay!!!!!!!!

Re: LizardKinG –
She's not a fag hag. She's gay herself
I LOVE THE GOSSIP!!!!! one of my favorite bands. but beth looks way hotter with dark hair. let her know i think so.

She looks delicious.
Poindexter you fucking stalker. You would never find out you crackhead.

Beth is a fucking hippo and you dont say a thing, but Jessica S is fat? lmao
She looks great! She must have had a really hard time living where she did.
JigSaw baby I can't reply to you but good morning sexy!!!
Re: Poindexter-X – dude get a life
I reserve my excitement for lesbians for the svelte, large breasted variety. Who gives a crap about some fat pig coming out?
Who?????
Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – morning mrs saw
She needs to lose weight & be healthy . . . no point in being proud of who you are if your life expectancy is cut short.
Give me my avie biotch!
So you love this fat obese Miss Piggy because she's gay?
So Ive got to say this Im seeing a trend if your not gay your not cool any more is that what your saying Mario cause Im an openminded individual but if your gonna be an ass to straight people than fuck off is this a GAY BLOG
I don't understand the infatuations with this woman…I get chills everytime I see her, and not in the good way! She is disgusting to me…who give a shit if she's gay or not? How about she shows the kind of 'pride' where you take care of your body? UGH.
this is a retarded pic — why is half her face covered up??
She looks like the great white pumpkin.
.
This woman is morbidly obese and will die from some cardiovascular condition. I'm 100% all for the full-figured woman, but she is gross. Why is it only one way or the other? A skinny girl has thick thighs or a little cellulite and she's publically lambasted. A singer put on a few pounds or wears an unflattering outfit and she makes national news.
.
But for some reason, we hold up a disgustingly OBESE pig like this and say "we like curves!" How about a little sense of normalcy? How about girls just try to be normal??
.
I really feel like the media scrutiny of the female body causes problems in the mentality of young, insecure girls. Skinny as I was, I would have sworn to you I was fat at the scrawny age of 13. It's known that these things can cause the problems of anerexia and bulimia, but I think they are also responible for the stress and anxiety that causes women to compulsively stuff their faces, feeling helpless, and living in depressed sedation.
.
No more of this Angorexia Jolie and Fatty Ditto. Let's celebrate the girls like us!!
they try to cover her fat with the hair, LOL
Are my eyes decieving me or does that say the "punk princess"?!
I have nothing against Beth Ditto, but obviously this magazine doesn't know what punk is. Have a listen ot the sex pistols or the clash, that might help!
Why is she famous?
The only thing I know about Beth Ditto is that she wears clothes that are EXTREMELY unflattering for her body type.
Beth Ditto is a poor example for people. She tries to glamorize obesity. Obesity is NOT pretty. It's disgusting and dangerous.
You bash Jessica Simpson (who has gorgeous curves) yet you praise this girl who had admitted to eating a bucket of chicken in one sitting?
AND you bashed Robert Pattinson for not having a Zac body?
Weird, Perez, weird.
She's just a big fatty.
Tyra said FIERCE is overrated.
apparently according to her.. the new word is DISGUSTING.
guess as always you're behind.
who is that? that fatass ugly chic you think has a great bod?
Everytime Beth Ditto does anything you praise her. Half the time she looks like a fat train wreck. If any other person or celebrity looked as fugged out as her you'd be bashing them left and right. You are so fucking lame, Mario.
I went to school with Beth and her siblings, and I think they were generally treated the same as everyone else. High school sucks no matter what socio-economic group you're in …
I see she still has a chip on her shoulder, and is spouting the tenets of class warfare rhetoric. Nice.
i thought that was taylor swift and they just like extended her face out to look like a basketball.
Beth Ditto:
Everything Lady Ga Ga is and more.
Beth Ditto and Gossip are anything but punk. Please refrain from loosely using such terminology. You don't set the trend.
COOL!
Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – fucking whoe i hate you
Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – can you please just die already? please?
Lol I find it funny how everyone is giving nice comments to her.. Is this because the majority of people on this website a FAT WOMEN?
I always see racist, homophobic and anti skinny jokes from jealous people on this website, i guess thats what keeps you fat girls or boys from feeling self-hatred about yourselves… HA!
Why doesn't she have an eyebrow? Does she do that on purpose, or did the photoshopper make a mistake?
Where did her eyebrow go?
OMG!! If it weren't for the fact that I just recently saw a picture of Natalie Main (that annoying girl from the Dixie Chicks) with super short hair, I would have SWORN that was her!!
I didn't know she was from Arkansas, I thought she was from UK? Very interesting….
airbrush much?
Punk?
Ummm not really.
