Ellen Page is gay
Well, that's interesting.
http://gawker.com/ellen-page-comes-o...ium=socialflow Actress Ellen Page publicly came out as gay Friday evening, while giving a speech at Time to THRIVE, a national LGBTQ youth conference held in Las Vegas. "I'm here today because I am gay," Page told the assembled crowd, which responded with a standing ovation and a long chorus of cheers. "Whoo!" said Page, before continuing: Quote:
After her speech, the Human Rights Campaign, which organized the conference, congratulated Page on the front page of its website for "her brave decision to live openly and authentically." Last edited by Hammock Parties; 02-15-2014 at 01:09 AM.. |

You witnessed Rain Main's loss of his virginity?

There was a heartbeat, definitely. I confirmed it afterwards.

That's what they are saying. I'm sorry you don't like the words they chose, but I'm not having any trouble understanding them.

In the big scheme of things, another announcement like this doesn't change anything, other than now everyone who has heard about it knows that she's homosexual. I doubt that anyone's opinion on the subject is going to be altered in the slightest. The people who approve of homosexuality are going to cheer. The people who are ambivalent will remain ambivalent. Those who disapprove are going to continue to disapprove.

this article makes it kind of sound like she felt persecuted or something for being gay. She's a hollywood movie star for goodness sake, she doesn't have to "hide" anything if she doesn't want to, especially her sexuality.

Assuming that an undecided person respected her prior to her announcement: If they're even possibly gay, there's a chance that her announcement makes them feel more comfortable with themselves (instead of acquiescing to the decreasingly popular opinion that they are abominations). They'll feel more enabled to live their lives in a way that makes them happy. If they're definitely not gay, they may develop the opinion that sexuality is not a defining factor in a person's life or career, and will be less likely to judge an individual on that information. |

I've written out a number of responses to this and Sam's thread only to delete them, but these sorts of attitudes are toxic. Those sorts of questions are on-par with the following: "You don't trust him to write your code, do you? He's just a dumb ****er! He'd be better off picking cotton, haha!" "Please, you think she could lead the design team? Women just don't have what it takes to be a leader of men." "Look, you might want to find a different banker...you can't trust Goldstein. If you stop paying attention to your account for a week, he'll Jew you out of every penny that he can." It's disgusting, and I don't think you'll be able to convince me otherwise. |
