Gay icon Patti LaBelle is in the moment

Gay icon Patti LaBelle is in the moment Gay icon Patti LaBelle has a new cd out, "Classic Moments," and that means she's talking to the press. LaBelle was good friends with Sylvester: "He was a major drag queen. I loved him. He had style, he was working it. When I say work it, he really worked it." And pals with lesbian Nona Hendryx in the Bluebelles: "A great songwriter and a lady who chose her own way of living." Meanwhile, LaBelle, herself, has never had a same-sex sexual experience, and as she politically incorrectly puts it, "Honey, at 61 if I ain't done the 'fish trip,' I ain't doing it," she laughs. What she is doing though is reuniting with Hendryx for a brand new Labelle album and tour later this year.�
