Morning Brew – Ruby Rose: “I can’t turn girls gay”

Good morning!

Have you entered our #LoveWinsContest yet? It’s so easy and you could win a dream vacation for you and your love. We have some really fun celebrity judges lined up to decide on the finalists.

Ruby Rose is on the cover of Galore this month and inside, she talked about her celeb crushes (Madonna, Jennifer Lawrence), being compared to Justin Bieber (“Justin has tattoos and I have tattoos. But we both make fun of it.”), and how she can’t actually “turn people gay.”

“When people say to me that I turned them gay, I just laugh, because that’s not really even a possibility. It sounds like I did something against their will in the middle of the night, as if I crept into their brain and pushed the gay button, then did an evil laugh and left them to fend for themselves-newly gay and alone in the world.

I break it down like this: Did I find Channing Tatum in Magic Mike to be extremely hot? Yes! Could I now turn straight for him without having previously ever had a desire to be with a man? The answer is, nope. Haha.”

“It’s always been a deeply held belief of mine that everyone, everywhere should be treated equally. I’m proud that my beloved mother and father taught me as a child growing up in Mississippi to focus on the many things we all have in common, not our few differences. And what we all deserve to have in common is the right to be treated equally.”

In related news, GLAAD was in Nashville yesterday to share its disapproval of Tennessee’s House Bill 1840, the same day the state passed a harmful anti-LGBT therapy bill.
