We're by now fairly certain that the unending media coverage of MTV Australia VJ Ruby Rose is largely due to the fact that most tabloid journos in Australia are gee-whiz types who think being a lesbian involves making out with hot chicks at parties.

Even after Rose herself said she'd been out since the age of 12 and told The Daily Telegraph to get over it and focus on her work, they're still pushing the "hot chicks pashing" angle.

Queensland model Catherine McNeil may have beaten her to the 2002 Girlfriend Model Search title, but Ruby Rose obviously doesn't hold grudges.

The MTV VJ has been talking up McNeil, describing her as "one of the best-looking women in the world".

 

"She deserves to be a supermodel", Rose said, adding the spunk had changed a bit over the years.

...

Sadly, Rose wouldn't be drawn on whether she'd ever locked lips with her former modelling buddy.

"Spunk"? "Sadly"? We feel dirty just reading their strained-pants excuse for an article.

In this post-FHM world we live in, this sort of grot is the socially acceptable, updated version of blokes worrying whether their newly-out pal will "put the gay" on them if they use the same toilets. Constantly faffing over who a gay woman is feeling up - for little other than a bit of "lesbotic" fantasy titillation - is embarrassing and makes baby cheeses cry.

Ruby, Defamer Australia doesn't care who you're pashing!
