Ellen page finally outs herself- comments.

23 Feb 2014

A few days ago, in a conference called THRIVE which took pace in Las Vegas for the LGBT community, Celebrity Ellen Page (I bet most of us remember her from the flick "Juno",even if they haven't watched some of her recent work) outed herself as gay. In a emotionally appealing and tearful speech, she told that she was tired of lying by omission, and of course tired of hiding. It made me go back in time and remind of people's reaction when i had outed myself. Only a handful of people have treated me in a right way, so far. Juno was a part of our lives: It kept me and some of my friends realize the dangers when we had guys in our lives, though that was years back. I believe we needed someone like Ellen to make understand society that sometimes their peers pressurize civilization too much into believing what is correct and what is wrong. Doomsday devices are a sane idea, but being gay is a crime! I was surprized no one on Lush here congratulated the community that Ellen represented us to the world in such a magnificent manner. Thank you Ellen ! Hugs from me. Big Hugs

I long for the day when this isn't huge news but I'm happy about it.

If 1 gay person (male or female) realizes who they are isn't a bad thing because she came out then it's a step in the right direction.

I think that any person who makes an impassioned plea for equality, between all women and men, is to be applauded.... no matter what their status.. celebrity or not... BUT ..

I do not differentiate between an openly active lesbian and a closet lesbian ... I regard both with the same affection and compassion..
what worries me about these sort of declarations is my cynical side... why? and why now? ..
did she know some magazine was going to publish an expose? .... that is .. was it forced on her? ... if it was, she rises in my estimation ...for stopping some grubby publisher raking in cash by exposure ...

if however she did it for the publicity it brought.. she sinks ....

I always thought she came out years ago?

Clearly I was wrong and was very impressed in the way she did it !

I envy her, I envy those who came out and told the world the real them.

tsk, In my country, Gay (males) are widely accepted by the society , Gay(famale) or lesbians are still not very much welcome.

anyway, the line "In the eyes of God and in the eyes of a human, you are a sinner if you let yourself to be turned to be a gay or lesbian." is a trash. God doesn't judge you, it's the people who's making you feel worst.

Are you sure?
