Rose Rose has deleted her Twitter account following backlash from being cast as Batwoman - the first openly gay superhero to lead a tv show!
The Australian actress is set to play the lesbian superhero in a new series as part of CW's Arrowverse. However, fans were questioning the 'Orange Is The New Black' star's acting ability and sexual identity. Users claimed the actress couldn't play a LGBT character despite the fact that she has been out since 12!
Ruby was clearly upset and posted this message on Twitter before deactivating her account;
"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. I wish we would all support each other and our journeys.
When women and when minorities join forces we are unstoppable... when we tear each other down it's much more hurtful than from any group. But hey/ love a challenge I just wish women and the LGBT community supported each other more, My wish was we were all a little kinder and more supportive of each other...Sending everyone my love and gratitude, it's been a rollercoaster of a year, this month especially.
I am looking forward to getting more than 4 hours of sleep and to break from Twitter to focus all my energy on my next 2 projects. If you need me, I'll be on my Bat Phone."
