Angry Twitter and Instagram users are losing their mind over actors who have been cast to play gay characters on screen — leading one of them to abandon a platform.
Over the weekend, Australian actress Ruby Rose quit Twitter and shut down public commenting on her Instagram account after receiving backlash over her casting as the lead character in the upcoming ‘Batwoman’ film.
Rose’s casting is set to make her the first LGBTQ lead in a live-action superhero series; however, the actress is aparently not lesbian enough for some hard-core fans.
“Where on earth did ‘Ruby is not a lesbian therefore she can’t be Batwoman’ come from – has to be the funniest most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read. I came out at 12? And have for the past 5 years had to deal with ‘she’s too gay’ how do y’all flip it like that? I didn’t change,” Rose wrote.
WIBC host Tony Katz covered the controversy in a hilarious segment Tuesday morning. Click below to check it out:
