Patti LaBelle’s No “Fishy” Lesbian

labellesing.jpg
American singer Patti LaBelle sure does have a way with words – and a myopic understanding of vaginal hygiene: “When I got my divorce, the women jumped on me like white on rice! I said, ‘Look, I ain’t ever did fish, I don’t intend to do fish so leave me alone.’”

What would Eve Ensler say?!*

*”Vagina!”

I think there are too many blacks on queerty. Come the new millennium, the number of African American adults behind bars will hit the million mark for the first time, That represents nearly an eightfold increase from three decades ago, when there were only 133,226 blacks in prison.
By 2010, roughly one in 5 black men will be or will have been in prison. Keep them behind bars.

Wait – there is an impostor out there saying bad thing that I would not say. It is interesting that my name is so important that those less desirable would have to pretend to be me.

Sounds like Leland has a stalker – or is using this forum as his way to express himself in a covert way.

Gotta admit, Leland, the nutjob impersonating you sounds pretty smart. I’d inform the FBI (I’m serious!)

Hey, Patti has always been a camp and has supported the gay community since forever. She can get away with it!

Yes – you might want to inform the FBI that someone is using your anonymous handle on a blog site, I am sure that this is of high national security. I am sure there is a law against it. I borrowed GoGirl from a chick on Perez – does that mean I need to “clear” it with her? hells kitchen sounds like he is really an informed source – you better partner with him.

When someone assumes your identity and makes inflammatory comments on your name and appears to be stalking you — even online — it’s a matter of some concern.

GoGirl’s the kind of person who, when he saw the online rantings of those kids from Columbine, would have written something witty and snarky like, ‘Oh yeah, everytime a teenager rants online, we should care.”

Uh-huh. Idiot.

So…back to the fish comment. What a cunt. I get riled up when I hear tuna or fish references to vaginas. We don’t smell like fish, or look like fish, so it’s just fucking offensive. Shut up, Patti Labelle. And shut up everyone else who says that.

Stalking cannot happen if an alleged stalker does not know who he/she is stalking?? No on knows if anyone is a guy or gal or lives in LA or San Fran or New York. Eveyone here could be the editors of the online blog and we dont know. There are no identities online – not address or pictures – well sometimes pictures LOL – that would be stalking. No?

Ash, I’m with ya up until you turn around and insult her back by calling her a “cunt.” Can we just stop using women’s genitalia as an insult altogether please?

Oh Ash, get a sense of humor. I don’t mind when someone mentions my “mancunt” or “manpussy” or “fuckhole” or whatever. I think she was trying to be funny, not mean spirited or cunty (oops, was that another no-no?).

Oh, you’re all just a bunch of twats anyways. In my little queer niche “fish” or “fishy” is a compliment, i.e. “I think Candace just had an estrogen shot, she has that fishy glow”, or if someone looks particularly good often you will hear, “damn girl, you look totally fish”. It’s all about context.

p.s.
Haven’t you ever heard the saying, “tastes like chicken, keep on lickin’, smells like trout, get the hell out”?

Sorry, Chris, I just love the word cunt, but you’re right, it shouldn’t be an insult.

My sense of humor is not the issue, hells kitchen guy. The fish/tuna joke IS offensive because people actually believe that women’s vaginas smell like fish. It’s much more prevalent in our culture than people saying manpussy, which I never really hear. You actually get fucked in your ass, which would make it a fuckhole. I don’t actually smell like fish.

What’s wrong with the word fish? Where I come from we used that word all the time to describe women. I thought all gay men used that word. Odd that it’s taken on an offensive meaning here.

It has a venerable progeny. In a pre-Code film, Barbara Stanwyck walks into a woman’s prison commissary and all the female inmates start chanting “fresh fish! fresh fish!” I should have added Hershey Highway – dont’ mind that one, either. At least that one’s implies something smelly.

It’s too bad that Patti couldn’t have articulated herself a little bit better. Same for many of you…

Other than our powerful singing voices, I never thought I had much in common with Ms.Labelle… but I too can, and do, say…”Look, I ain’t ever did fish, I don’t intend to do fish so leave me alone.”
