Queer Women Have A Message For Straight Women "Turning Gay" For Ruby Rose

As Piper once said, "You can't just turn gay."

If you haven't noticed, the world is completely losing it over the existence of Ruby Rose ever since she appeared in Orange Is the New Black's latest season.

Seriously, losing it.

So much so, she seemingly has a lot of women questioning their sexuality.

Even gay men are feeling a little confused. Everyone is confused!

Odds are a lot of people are just joking — although it's not outside the realm of possibility that many are actually discovering something about themselves.

But a lot of queer-identifying women are not having it.

Not. Having. It.

I mean...

On Twitter, many were quick to air their grievances:

saying you "go gay" for ruby rose just reinforces the idea that sexuality is a choice, and is homophobic

I was really into Ruby Rose until straight girls ruined it for me tbh

My whole timeline is filled with straight girls fangirling over ruby rose

RT @urdreamgirI: Straight girls: Ruby Rose is *so* hot!! I'm totally a lesbian now! Gay girls: *stare into the camera like they're on the …

dear straight girls, YOU ARE NOT GAY BC YOU THINK RUBY ROSE IS HOT THAT LEGIT JUST MEANS YOU'RE NOT BLIND

Fellow straight girls: stop saying yr "going gay for ruby rose" you can acknowledge that they're attractive w/o trivializing sexuality ok

One Twitter user summed up her concerns in a perfect series of tweets:

Okay I'm very tired of girls calling themselves gay because they recognise another woman as attractive.

It's okay to be gay, it isn't okay to imply that the only way a person can recognise someone of a similar genders beauty is if they're gay.

Unless you're having a very casual coming out, this needs to stop.

(mic drop)

Ruby Rose is beautiful, I recognise that, but if I wasn't queer the fact that she is amazing looking wouldn't make me queer.

** And for anyone out there actually having a sexual awakening from Ruby Rose (which is totally plausible because look at her face), welcome! **
