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.. |

Maybe they say it out loud, so young gays can grow up Ina different environment, and hopefully become proud of who they are sooner than the old generation.

There's been several gay members here. And at least one transgendered person.

At least 2 of the latter that I can think of. The first, Hel'n, might have been before your time.

Graduating from Harvard? Sure, that's an accomplishment. Winning a playoff game? Yes. Getting a promotion at work.

And, they aren't equal and never will be.

And statements like that are part of the reason why it's an accomplishment for gays to be proud of who they are. When you say that, you are saying you are less than and unworthy.

While I'm not gay, I would imagine the so-called pride comes from acknowledging something you've spent so much of your life hiding. The embarrassment is gone, the guilt is gone, the self-recrimination is gone. You can just be you, finally, and it probably feels pretty ****ing good.
As far as "equality" goes, I'm not sure what sexuality has to do with that, any more than race or gender. People are more than walking genitalia. |

Again, I'm specifically talking about "I'm proud that I'm gay."
