In a bold and courageous move last night, young actress Ellen Page came out as gay at the Human Rights Campaign-sponsored Time To Thrive conference for the LGBT community!

Ellen Page.

The 26-year-old actress, one of the most beloved and respected young women of the movie industry today, with such credits beneath her belt as Juno, Hard Candy, Inception, and X-Men: Days of Future Past, came out to the conference audience during her speech, talking about not only the adversities faced by LGBT community members within the industry, but also the adversities in the personal lives of those people as a result of their unique individuality.


I've been a fan of Ellen Page since she caught my attention with Hard Candy, where she played opposite Patrick Wilson (Watchmen, Insidious) as the vengeful friend of a suicide victim who terrorizes a pedophile within the confines of his own home. With that movie and then Juno, she's proved capable of delivering audiences to the cutting edge of cinema.

She's also proved to be quite the geek favorite with her sci-fi and comic book roles—Inception, X-Men, Super—and even had her likeness ripped for Ellie's character in the survival horror epic The Last Of Us. Lawsuit or not, we can't get enough of her, and it's safe to say that regardless of her coming out of the closet, this doesn't stop us loving us some Ellen Page.

She even makes tacky look hot.

Fanboys Anonymous wishes Ellen a smooth ride back into Hollywood after her brave move last night, because, typically, that's bound to make some noise.

Sound off, Fanboys and Fangirls! What do you make of Ellen Page's statement? Do people really have that much growing up to do? I know the mainstream media does, but then they are paid to be ignorant. Comments below and thanks for reading.
