Miss Universe Iris Mittenaere lesbian rumors spread like wildfire online after a malicious report. The newly-crowned Miss Universe is rumored to be dating Camille Cerf.

If the rumors were true, this is a huge step forward in gender equality since a prominent figure in a very stereotyped competition has come forward about her sexuality. Mittenaere could be the first lesbian beauty queen.The response on this latest development is positive and is a major step for the LGBT community. Moreover, having a prominent figure like the Miss Universe as a lesbian helps increase efforts in gender equality. 

The Miss Universe Organization has not commented on the issue yet and what could be the implications of these rumors to Iris' reign as Miss Universe. However, MUO is a strong supporter of women and also advocates LGBT rights and equality.
