Here are some snippets from her recent Q&A session.

Do you find it at all marginalizing to be on Music With A Twist, a Columbia subsidiary for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender artists?
No, I love being on a queer label. You’re sitting in a room with a group of people who have all the same reference points as you, you don’t have to explain anything about your identity to them, and people aren’t like, “What’s a tranny?” It’s not about integration versus segregation; it’s just a way to get the music out there.

You’ve said that you think being a bigger, gay woman might have held the band back from mainstream success, but do you think it’s also worked to your advantage?
I never would say that it worked to our advantage, but I think it’s a breath of fresh air for a lot of people. And you gotta play the game. If you can work it, then you work it no matter what. And talent transcends all those things.

What do you make of the fact that the Gossip are very popular in the U.K. but not nearly as well known over here?
Sometimes I think of America as this imperial child of England that doesn’t know what to do until England tells it. But I’m ready for the backlash over there. It’s coming!
