In 2021, she was named one of the OUT100 most influential LGBTQ+ people. In 2022, she was nominated by Queerty as TikToker of the Year. In 2023, she generated national attention by surviving a coordinated Far-Right media attack following Pride celebrations at the White House that resulted in widespread doxing, harassment, and online violence. Rose proudly stands in a long line of feminist activists and powerful outcasts who have been shunned by the state for their bodies and sexuality and have stood firmly and authentically as they’ve advocated for the well-being of the most marginalized members of society.
