Former Miss Australia recalls moment a stranger told her she was “too pretty” to be a lesbian
Former Miss Universe Australia Maria Thattil revealed that a stranger told her she was “too pretty” to be a lesbian while out on a date.
The bisexual media personality opened up about the uncomfortable incident in her column for 9honey. At the start of her piece, Thattil recalled that the date started off on a high note, writing: “It was one of those sunny winter Sundays that catch you by surprise, our morning coffee quickly rolled into afternoon cocktails.” However, their get-together turned sour after a drunk “middle-aged woman” interrupted their conversation with a series of questions.
After complimenting the two on their beauty, the unidentified individual began to express her disbelief that they were on a date. “The thing is, you’re stunning,” gesturing to my date before pointing to me, “But you are also so pretty,” the reality star revealed.
The stranger then told Thattil that she was only used to seeing lesbian relationships with one “beautiful, feminine partner and a less attractive, butch’ one,” before asking if her date was the “boyfriend.” Even though the two tried to dispel the conversation, the drunk stranger continued to harass them with more invasive questions – which Thattil said lasted around “10 to 20-minutes.” The 29-year-old then revealed that the uncomfortable interaction finally ended after the woman’s friend guided her away.
