In February Ellen Page made headlines with a speech where she publicly revealed she is a lesbian. Now she’s been talking to Flare Magazine about coming out, and alongside that is an incredible set of photos of the actress, some of which you can see above and below.
Page spoke of the difficulties she faced being in the closet, saying “You think you’re in a place where you’re all, ‘I’m thrilled to be gay, I have no issues about being gay anymore, I don’t feel shame about being gay,’ but you actually do.
“You’re just not fully aware of it. I think I still felt scared about people knowing. I felt awkward around gay people; I felt guilty for not being myself. The more time went by, the more something just happened, and, Oh my god — I want to love someone freely and walk down the street and hold my girlfriend’s hand.
“I felt happy and confident and the difference was huge. I feel more creatively inspired than I have in years. And I’m sure it has to do with a lot of bricks being taken out of the backpack.”
Ellen also talked about the arguments for and against coming out that she heard, saying, “You hear things like, ‘People shouldn’t know about your life because you’re creating an illusion on-screen’.
“But I don’t see other actresses going to great lengths to hide their heterosexuality. That’s an unfair double standard.”
And if you’re a lady hoping to one day have the Juno star on your arm, you don’t need to give up all hope just yet as Flare says that Page ‘would like her future girlfriend, if she’s reading, to know that she can’t wait to hang out with her.’
So uhm listen Ellen…. tell me where to suscribe for dating 😉
