Ruby Rose is feeling very “empowered and strong” these days.
The Aussie star, who is making her mark in Hollywood thanks to her roles in Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black” and “xXx: Return of Xander Cage”, opened up about her outlook on marriage, her sexuality, and even revealed that she has a very satisfying sex life.
“I’m very confident and in tune with my sexuality. I feel very blessed for that, because in different places around the world, people can’t be. I’m lucky I can explore. I have a very healthy sex life, and there’s something very empowering, strong, and feminist about being open and comfortable in that world,” Rose told Cosmopolitan.
The 30-year-old actress, who came out as a lesbian at the age of 12, identifies herself as gender fluid and was previously engaged to fashion designer Phoebe Dahl before calling it quits in December 2015. She’s currently dating pop star Jess Origliasso, of girl group The Veronicas.
Although the actress is 100% comfortable in the romance department, she isn’t too sure about planning a trip down the aisle just yet, despite being passionate about marriage equality. “According to the news, I’ve been engaged 5 times. For me, marriage is more about equal rights than the act of getting married,” she explained.
She continued, “When you don’t have equal rights, it trickles down to kids who think, ‘My aunt’s gay so she can’t get married,’ or ‘I’m weird because I feel the same way.’ So it’s important to break down that barrier. I’m more interested in having a loving, healthy, long-term relationship with someone I might want to have kids with someday.”
In a previous interview with People, Rose also shared that she had once saved up money for gender reassignment surgery but decided not to go through with it because she wants “to have babies one day”.
These days, Rose is more interested in raising awareness on the issues that are close to her heart. This goes to show that the vocal actress is not only sexy but also socially conscious.
