Ellen Page deserves a lot of credit. She came out as lesbian in an industry that isn't always kind to people coming out. Hollywood has this idea in its head that if men know that Ellen Page is a lesbian then she'll no longer be a sex symbol. Can I just go on record to debunk that right now? Lesbian, straight, bi. It doesn't matter. In a bikini, we're all sex symbols. Except Borat.
Even if it cost her a few roles, her outspokenness has surely helped a lot of people who also want to come out. I wasn't surprised by her coming out though. Just look at the character of Juno. That character may have gotten pregnant by a man, but give it a few years and I bet she raises that kid with a woman. Is that offensive? Maybe. Sound off in the comments.
