Ellen Page

Variety

The star of “Inception” has been in the public eye since “Juno” made her an overnight sensation at 20 years old. Ellen publicly came out in 2014, delivering a powerful speech at the Human Rights Campaign benefiting LGBT youth. “I’m here today because I am gay,” she announced. “I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission.” As such, Ellen has become one of Hollywood’s most outspoken gay actors. She expressed, “I suffered for years because I was scared to be out…And I’m standing here today, with all of you on the other side of all that pain.” Her out-ness was a liberating experience that has sparked more conversation about the community especially with same-sex marriage.
