The problem with straight people playing queer characters is that it leads to stereotyping and misrepresentation. As good as the actor may be it will always be a portrayal from the perspective of a straight person instead of their own experiences and that to me almost always feels unauthentic and forced (*cough* blue is the warmest *cough*). Not to mention plenty of queer actors who often get denied straight roles for being gay and then getting their roles taken away from them by straight people.

All that said, i'm not sure what happened to Ruby Rose. She closed her twitter because of harassment recently, but I like her and am looking forward to that show.
