Morning Aural: The Gossip
Beth Ditto of The Gossip may be our biggest girl crush – and we’re not talking about her weight. The Arkansas-born lead singer’s not only a super star musician, but she’s a fierce advocate for queer rights and makes no secret of her love for a trans man. Of course, the other gossipers – guitarist Brace Paine and drummer Hannah Blilie – seem prety radical, as well. Those haircuts, those clothes, that talent! Work it, girls.
To celebrate our lesbianic love for these rockers, here’s the video for “Listen Up” from last year’s Standing in the Way of Control. If you’ve seen if before…well, you should just watch it again. At the very least, it will help you kill four minutes and 18 seconds. And, really, isn’t that the name of the game?

that post was just totally ruined by your comment on her weight. i’m disappointed in you, queerty. how completely unecessary, just so you could make a pun. way to behave like the straight white male media.
the gossip is amazing. they deserve more than back-handed compliments.
