The former model, who identifies as a lesbian and genderfluid – is best known for their roles in Orange Is the New Black and Batwoman, but has also carved out a name for themself over the years as a proud LGBTQ+ activist.

After receiving backlash for being cast in the role of Kate Kane – who is also the first Jewish female lead of the CW’s superhero universe – in the Batwoman series for not being ‘queer enough’, Rose told Entertainment Weekly in 2019: ‘I didn’t know that being a gender-fluid woman meant that I couldn’t be a lesbian because I’m not a woman — not considered lesbian enough.’

‘It’s 2019,’ they later told CNN. ‘There’s isn’t any one type of gay person; one type of Jewish person.’

Last year, Rose congratulated fellow actress Javicia Leslie – who identifies as bisexual – on Instagram for being cast as the show’s new lead.

‘OMG!! This is amazing!! I am so glad “Batwoman” will be played by an amazing Black woman,’ Rose wrote next to a photo of Leslie.

In her short 2014 film Break Free, the DJ shed light on up her own struggle with gender identity and fluidity. Produced, filmed and written by Rose, the film shows the Australian model cutting chunks off her hair, removing her make-up and revealing her tattooed sleeves.
