Ellen Page

Rumors about her sexuality followed actress Ellen Page for most of her career. In 2014, Page acknowledged the rumors and came out during a speech at the Human Rights Campaign Time to Thrive conference, saying, “I’m here today because I am gay, and because maybe I can make a difference, to help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility. I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission.”
