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.. |

I try my best to use the correct pronoun but my wife and kids would occasionally catch me earlier this year when I refer to Them as “she”, which I didn’t say disrespectfully by any stretch of the imagination but it definitely takes some time to adjust. You rock, BTW. |

We should all go with "Zhe". It works universally and then there's no implied gender or lack thereof. "What's Rain Man doing?" "Zhe's creating a poll." "Is Halle Berry naked in that movie?" "Yes, zhe is and I like it." "Is Elliott Page dating Michael Cera?" "No, zhe isn't. Zhe doesn't swing that way." It makes all the sense in the world for society to switch to one gender-irrelevant pronoun.

It's easier for me to refer to Them as "T.B." rather than They or Them, mainly so I don't make a mistake and sound disrespectful because my brain automatically thinks then says She or Her. FWIW, Binary means that the person doesn't identify as a Male or Female, hence They, Them, et al. |
