Why does it have to be another LGBT actress?

I mean, I think it's important for an LGBTQ actor to actually play LGBTQ characters just as much as it would be for actors of certain ethnicities to play characters who share their background.
Especially when there are already too many examples of straight actors playing gay characters.

No, if you don't want straight actors to play gay character, you shouldn't allow gay actors to play straight characters.
It's all about acting skills and do they fit the character. Many real life couples have less chemistry on stage than those who hate each other off the stage.

It is the logical contradiction.
If you want the actor's sexuality to be linked with their roles, then you need to not being hypocrite.
And it was not the case obviously, many good LGBT characters were played by straight actors, just like many good straight character are played by LGBT actors. I don't see a reason to block either side rather than pick the right actor.
No it isn't. The situations are not equal. LGBT people are still discriminated against for their sexualities and/or gender identities, while straight cis people are not (before anyone says it, this is not an example of straight discrimination, because straight people can still get LGBT roles). That's the point.

I don't really care if the next batwoman is really gay or not just be a good acter that's all that matters.
Not really unless you agree a show about straight characters and not focusing on diversity should practice what it preaches in terms of casting.
It's all about equality and acting ability/do they fit the character, an actor should not be blocked or prejudiced because of his/her sexuality, nor should he/she gain any specialty over it.
Uh, no. Ruby quit. So if I was in charge, I wouldn't care if she did want to come back at some point. I wouldn't even consider it.
It was one thing for Calista Flockheart to leave Supergirl after Season 1, but to come back and do the occasional guest spots. She was a main cast member, but she wasn't the lead. Her exit could be explained and not cause to big of a disruption. But it's another thing entirely for the lead to decide she doesn't want to do it anymore.
