Incredibly fun fact: Ruby Rose is totally okay with your girl crush on her.
If you’re an Orange Is The New Black fan, you’ll be very familiar with Ruby Rose from the new season; if you haven’t, well, you’ll still be very familiar with Ruby Rose – girl has been on the internet almost every day for the past week and counting. Oh yes, duh, and she’s incredibly gorgeous.
So gorgeous in fact that she’s turning straight women gay. Yip, you heard right. Everyone is in love with Ruby Rose, literally everyone.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Ruby Rose (who is the perfect combination between Angelina Jolie and a young Leo DiCaprio, but think Romeo & Juliet or Titanic young Leo) showed her appreciation of the new-found support, “It’s brilliant! I was not expecting it, to say the least.”
Naturally, there has been disapproval surrounding the Ruby Rose effect on women, including some of Ruby’s friends. In the interview she explains, “I have a couple of friends who don’t feel very warm towards it. They are personally offended by it, [and are] saying like, ‘You can’t just choose to be gay. You should say something about all these women who are saying [they're] turning gay.’”
Ruby’s perfect response? “My sense is definitely more light-hearted and neutral on it,” she explained. “I think people are just saying that to be complimentary. I don’t think anyone’s doing it to be derogatory or to take away from what it really means to come out and identify as a different sexuality than what people will think you are… Maybe ten years ago, people would watch someone on-screen that they would be attracted to, but they wouldn’t be able to make a funny meme and say, ‘Oh my god, I’m gay!’ because that would be so frowned upon.”
She goes on to say, “I think that the moments we try to nitpick who can and can’t say that they are gender-queer or gender-neutral or trans, or who’s gay or who’s bi — who are we to tell other people how they can live their lives and what they can tweet and what they can say?” she continued. “It’s really none of our business. I think we should let people go and say what they want to.”
Bravo, Ruby!
