(Reuters) - Actress Ellen Page, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in "Juno," came out as a lesbian on Friday at a Las Vegas conference for gay teens.
"I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission," the 26-year-old actress said in a speech that drew roaring support from an audience at the Time to Thrive conference sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign.

Brown hair, brown eyes, no curves at all, and in the same acting generation as Scarlett Johansson, you have to come up with some edge.
Look at me - look at me. This is one of the ways to gain attention these days. Cry - I’m being bullied, I’m gay. Look at me! I’m sick and tired of these low level non functioning idiots crying out for attention when none of these things are new, been going on for centuries and I don’t care!
Tomboyish yes. She may be 26 but she has the body of a 12-year-old boy.
Z-list celebrity. A nobody.
“I think the LGBT community needs to add a letter for you”
You didn’t get the memo? It’s now, LGBTQVSOPBBQAMPMROTFLOLWTF
She wasn’t hiding from me. She’s got all the traits and mannerisms of your typical young hipster, most of whom are gay.
Hey 8!tch! no one cares!
***This is unexpected? Shes a hollyweird actress**
I’ve noticed that over the years what ever is popular in Hollyweird, many of the actors come down with the “ME TOO!” syndrome.
“I had to prostitute myself to survive till I got an acting job!”
“ME TOO ME TOO!”
“I had to beg on the streets!”
“ME TOO ME TOO!”
“I ate out of dumpsters!”
“ME TOO ME TOO!”
“I had to become a Democrat!”
“ME TOO ME TOO!”
“I found I’m gay!”
“ME TOO! ME TOO!”
“I had to (____________________)fill in the blank!”
“ME TOO ME TOO!”
“She did 5 tv/movies in 2013 and is in the new X-Men Movie for 2014”
Sounds like a real A list actress! But since I’ve never heard of her, and since calling yourself a homosexual is a great way to get a ton of free publicity....
Exactly. Being a homosexual is very popular and “the next big thing” right now. The Hollyweirdoes need to let their “fans” know that they are “in” with pop culture. Idiots.
For some reason I thought she was out years ago.
Job offers must have fallen off so now she can get those AA roles.
Pray America wakes up
Honestly, when did this 26-year-old Hollywood actress ever have to hide her little secret?
The Hollywood crowd probably looks down on anyone who comes out as straight.
Who Cares??? No One !!! Most of Hollywood is frequented by some sort of weirdo.
A TV ad for a candy bar (I think) played seconds ago during the Olympics. A female trophy presenter hands flowers to a victorious male, it is staged similar to an Olympics concept. The recipient then turns to another male and their cheeks touch each other in a “kissing” moment. Message being sent?
Is there a poll out there yet, asking the American public, in their infinite wisdom, whether we are more accurately slouching towards Sodom, or towards Gomorrah?
Maybe there’s an app for that. Let me tweet my feelings about it, and send the poll along with some genital selfies to my FaceBook friends.
2) Her parents originally gave her a hyphenated name ("Philpotts-Page"), so it's not surprising (why the concern about the illustrious Philpotts name dying out, anyway?).
3) She did put out a momentary gay vibe in her Cisco Systems commercials. It's hard to explain but they're probably on YouTube, so you can judge for yourself.
4) Today, she's gay. Tomorrow, who can say?
Smart career move. Now she’ll be seen as a “brave victim,” even though her career will skyrocket now, since Hollywood will bend over backwards to hire her in order not to appear homophobic. She’ll get all kinds of publicity, praise, sympathy and attention.
Now, if she’d come out in favor of traditional marriage, and refused to apologize and grovel afterwards, her career would be over.
Yet she’ll be called “brave.”
