The sexiness that is Ruby Rose, and the straight women who are "going gay" for her

Ladies, I don't want to get off on a rant (well actually I do), but I have a huge problem with the straight women who say they would "go gay" for Ruby Rose.

First of all, there is no "going gay." You either are or aren't. Yes, Ruby Rose may be a genderfluid lesbian, but you still cannot "go gay" for her. If you are looking at her, and picturing yourself tearing off her clothes and licking her from head to toe, you may want to think long and hard about that. Perhaps you're not as straight as you may think.

Secondly, I know many women in the gay community who are annoyed with straight women saying they would "go gay" for Ruby Rose.

A contributor for Huff Post's Gay Voices stated something that I agree with:
"Straight girls are comfortable being attracted to Ruby Rose because she doesn't pose a real threat to their heterosexuality, or their need to readdress their conceptions of beauty and sexuality. She allows them to embrace their newfound "lesbianism," while staying within their comfort zone."
She also made an excellent point here as well:
"Straight girls are comfortable with Ruby Rose in a way that apparently isn't possible with (Lea)DeLaria or (Samira)Wiley. Is it because Rose, though a lesbian -- which might initially frighten these straight girls off -- is still skinny, white and, to a degree, feminine-presenting, while DeLaria and Wiley are not? I think that certainly has something to do with it."
This is what I'd like to call "Straight Privilege."

As far as my sexuality is concerned, I don't identify myself as anything but me. I do have a history of dating both men and women, but I wouldn't call myself Bisexual. I am attracted to a person's energy and soul. I do my own thing. I am not confused, or questioning, or bi-curious, or greedy. I am just me and I don't apologize for it.

Do I find Ruby Rose attractive? Absolutely. But I also find a lot of the women on OITNB attractive. I've had a thing for Natasha Lyonne for over a decade. I think Samira Wiley is sexy. Hell, I'd even let Lea DeLaria pin me against the wall if given the chance.

Going back to Ruby Rose, I think she is an amazing addition to the OITNB family and I hope we see more of her in season four. (don't get me started on that nude scene *fans self*)
As for the straight females who say they would "go gay" for Ruby Rose:

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
