Ruby Rose fronts Cosmo's LGBTQI special
80% of Cosmo readers surveyed said they support marriage equality
Bauer Media's Cosmopolitan magazine has launched its first ever Pride issue, including a celebration of the 50 most influential and inspiring LGBTQI and allied Australians in the inaugural Rainbow List.
Timed to coincide with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, self-confessed gender-fluid star Ruby Rose is the cover star of the March issue. Rose said: “I am eternally blessed and humbled to be included in this terrific list of inspirational people. I feel ecstatic to be part of the LGBTQI community and I hope my journey gives people the confidence to be themselves.”
The Pride issue comes as 80% of Cosmo readers surveyed said they support marriage equality. In recognition of those who campaign and advocate for the rights of all LGBTQI people, Cosmopolitan has compiled its first Rainbow List.
A panel of six experts, including Labor’s Penny Wong and Prof. Kerryn Phelps, helped to single out the top 50 role models and those who have worked tirelessly for LGBTQI people to be treated equally.
The March edition goes on sale today.
