She IS brave! ..and it sickens me to see many of the hate comments below :( Guys, whether you like her sexuality or not, there is no excuse for the discrimination, or anyone to deny she's speaking the truth. Even if she wasn't speaking the truth, she would know, not any of you. Don't make excuses to say "Ohh she's faking it" "She should stop crying, nothing to be brave about" Etc. I feel that only the LGBT community will know what it's like. Society doesn't oppress people for being straight or teach that it's "unnatural" to be heterosexual. You don't "hide in the closet" for loving someone of the opposite sex (meaning, you don't hide FOR that reason. Anyone can keep their feelings about a person secret). I believe everyone should love who they are, but just remember that the pride and all the fuss over equality doesn't come from no where. Gender roles are not needed here. You should never be told to be a certain way because of what body parts you have. Just be yourself. None of you are to judge her.

[@crazylittlekoala1532]

One of my school friends came out to me 2 years ago. He texted me that he needed to talk to me about something on Monday, and I spent the whole weekend stressing out about what the hell it was he was gonna tell me. I thought he was gonna reproach me something, that he'd get in a fight with me and I might lose him as a friend. I bet you already guessed what it is he was to tell me... So we were both sitting at a table and he was kinda avoiding the subject, talking in a light-hearted tone as if nothing was going on, but I could tell something was wrong and I was scared. And then, out of the blue, he throws me "I'm gay", as if he was talking to me about the weather. I froze for a sec. At first, I thought it was a joke. When I realized it wasn't, I processed what I just had heard for a sec and sighed. "That's it?", I told him. "That's what you needed to tell me?". "Yes", he answered anxiously, but looking relieved at the same time. And then I told him "God, I am SO RELIEVED". I bet he wasn't expecting an answer like this one. "I thought you were mad at me for some reason, I spent the whole weekend stressing about this conversation". And I was almost mad at him. "Why are you making such a big deal out of it? I fucking don't care whether you're gay or straight, you're my friend!". Yes, that was my reaction. I was relieved. That's how everyone should feel when someone they love comes out to them. Because it means they don't have serious issues. They're not ill. They're not dying. They're not leaving the country forever. They're not announcing bad news. They're just telling you who they really are. And that is the most precious gift someone can ever give you. If they're willing to tell you, it means that they love you and that your support means everything to them. It means they care what you think about them and worry you might not love them anymore when you find out who they really are. No one should ever feel that way. When someone comes out to you, they're just looking for the support and the strength it takes to be themselves in a world full of hateful and intolerant people. If you can't give it to them, if you can't simply say "I love you no matter what and all I want is for you to be happy", then it's you that are sick, not gay people. To all of you who are reading my comment, all of you who are struggling right now and feel helpless, hopeless and worthless, just know that you all are beautiful people, no matter your skin color, your origin, your religion. No matter your gender identity, your sex, your sexual orientation. No matter your size, your weight, no matter how you look or what your voice sounds like. No matter your disabilities and weaknesses. Don't ever let people make you doubt that you deserve to be loved and happy. Don't ever let bullies take your strength and dignity. Don't let anyone ever bring you down. Your happiness belongs to you and to you only, and no one can take that away from you. It's up to you to accept who you are and embrace it. You all have what it takes to stand up for yourselves and be proud of whatever makes you different from others. Your difference is your strength and your beauty. Love yourself and you'll see people will love you too (and if they don't, it's their loss, not yours!).

To the ignorant people: It takes a lot of courage to come out, more than you think it's worth. A person finding their identity is a huge deal, no matter who you are. Just because you can't make a difference doesn't mean she can't. Even with her speech she can motivate others to be themselves. You are ignoring the significant meaning behind being oneself, it impacts a person's whole life. If you ever cared to understand, you'll at least listen instead of speaking such ignorant words. There are still millions of others suffering, just because it worked out in one place doesn't mean other countries in the world are fine.

[@SunnyAegyoify3]

Kyn Hardin I feel that those who try to control the rights of other humans are doing it out of selfishness. They are trying to make themselves feel comfortable, and using religion as an excuse to reason. You are borned to be loved as who you are, and society is moving forward. Those left behind are conformist to their selfishness and when one day they have a heart to accept it they'll feel that hatred is the worse feeling.

I can't believe the comments I'm reading. What's funny is that people are claiming that homosexuality isn't a problem anymore, saying that what she did isn't brave and she only did it for publicity. Meanwhile other comments are talking about how homosexuality is a sin and a mental disorder. Other people are making disgusting jokes about her sexuality, probably because they can't take this seriously. These are all reasons why she needed to make this speech. As long as there are comments like these, we need people that fight for LGBT. As long as there are comments like these we will also need feminism. These things exist for a reason, people. And it's not about being gay. It's about being human, and having the right to live. I'm not gay but some of the things she said meant a lot to me. This isn't about her being gay, it's about knowing that you have just as much right as anyone else to be here.

[@dreamyfellow5420]

One of the best speech ever in favor of LGBT in my opinion. IT WOULD BE TRULY EASIER TO LIVE IN A WORLD WERE PEOPLE AREN'T HORRIBLE AND JUDGMENTAL TO EACH OTHER. I identify myself as a bi with a certain propension into boys...I haven't "come out" yet, but I don't really feel like doing it..I mean, I desire a world were homosexuals, bi and lesbian people can answer at "who's your crush?" with "oh, this boy/this girl" with absolute naturality and ease, but yet I still fear doing it. I still perceive a veil of hate towards people who aren't straight, and the bigots who claim not to be homophobes but then always come off with the fucking "but..." are still really strong in my opinion. I lied about my sexuality more than once...more than twice...and nobody truly know who my TRUE crushes were (and are) and even when I had the chance to CORRECTLY answer the crush answer I had internally panic attacks considering to let them truly know and I always answered "nobody" or "this girl" (but the fact that I even have some girl crushes doesn't make me feel like i'm truly lying [ex. I like alot Rihanna's, Beyoncé's and Lana's physiognomy]). But still NOBODY knows that i'm BI, and the flashback of my mother slapping me thrice about 9 years ago, because I was typing on the PC that I loved one of my boy classmates, stops me even more...now I'm about to turn 18 and I don't really know how she feels about it, but I still have another flashback that when I was a little kid, I was in my bed asking my dad if he would've loved me even if I was bi/gay and he said "Yes, of course. How can you even think of your dad not loving you?" Today my biggest crush in on one of my boy classmates (who's taken -.-) but who cares...you know, the "How is it called when your crush likes you back? IMAGINATION" is almost a fact that applies to like 80% and more people of any sex/sexuality so it don't really bothers me.

[@Fleetato]

I lie about my sexuality every day as bi as well. Wouldn't it be amazing if someone could be like, "Who's your celebrity crush?" and I could go "I like this guy, and this girl is really awesome."

She is articulate, and witty, and oh so earnest. In the end, she demonstrates how to make good use of people's kindness to find that strength within to do right by yourself, and then also to help others find the same. What we have witness, people, is a kind of magic. It spreads. The highlight of her speech, personally, is not in the part where she says "I'm gay". It's her entire speech that is so precious. Every word of her rings true. It's like Roger Ebert and Ellen Degeneres said. Be kind. We must be kind to one another. We are only here for a short time. We must be brave, and joyous and kind.

[@CoutureFanatic14]

So many people are complaining about her getting an applause when she announced she was gay. You guys dont understand that she isnt getting applauded because of the simple fact that shes gay. Shes getting applauded because she finally got the courage to come out. Its hard as a celebrity to come out as being gay, because maybe you wont get movies, youll lose fans, etc. She did this because she thinks more people in the LBGTQ community will have the courage and strength to come out as well. This is an issue though, because this is adding on to the lives we lose every day because of suicide and even murder. People are dying because other people cant accept the fact that others are gay. Its hard, as i have first hand experience, to figure out who you are. Im questioning myself. But enough about me. Im hoping that with this video, people will be more open with families, friends, etc about being lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or questioning. Congratulations Ellen(:

[@ZebReaper]

I understand what you mean. I too am Gay (female) It takes allot of courage to come out to others and admit your gay. I still am unable to tell my family because they hate those sorts and would disown me. But i will open up and say it soon. I must because i can't hide from what i am. And can't stand the arguements of my family dissing the gays and trans .

[@MichaelStephenLordReserei1987]

Not going to lie. I shed a tear or two. This a very powerful and emotional speech.

Genuinely happy for her, I know first hand how happier life can be when you don't have to hide any more, a certain aspect of your being. This can help many others.

[@sipos0]

Your comment expressed what I wanted to say better than I could have myself. Ellen Page is a great actress and always seemed like a cool person. Being an actress, someone who is always in the media spotlight, and being gay can't be easy. Coming out must have been scary but, by doing so, she has stood-up for who she is and, against those that make it hard for others. Much respect to her for that.

[@OMGLOLPEACEOUT]

Why are there so many stupid and ignorant comments saying this like, "Oh wow I could've pounded that so hard.", or, "It's a shame she's a lesbian." Was she ever going to let you fuck her anyways? It makes me so angry how some people didn't grasp the message she was trying to get across, and how that's the initial thought that comes to their minds. Even if she was straight, the fact that she is gay doesn't break the fact that she's an amazing, intelligent human being. I'm proud of her having the courage to face her fears and come out to the world. No matter what, we'll always love and support you Ellen

its great that the community has more role models and all, but many will just like her because she is gay- not due to her talents or personality. its just they are jumping on the bandwagon, it shouldn't annoy me i know but it does somewhat. (sorry if that comes off as ignorant or anything its not intentional)

[@SmearedBlackInk2003]

Aeryn7Sun I know what you mean, I get annoyed at those things sometimes too (the inner hipster in all of us, I guess). But considering the alternative would be her still being in the closet and not completely herself, then it's better that she comes out, "bandwagon fans" and all. Also, I'm positive most gay people already loved her anyway. :P

[@ZachPayne]

Ellen Page was already a wonderful person in my book, but watching her give this speech brought me to tears, especially the shakiness of her voice as she spoke. People say it doesn't take courage these days to come out, but when I came out it was in a written note in high school to a lesbian friend, when most of my circle was also gay, or bisexual, or supportive, and I still felt like I was going to die doing it. I could never have done this.

[@216yan216]

I know what you mean. I struggled for months to tell my own twin sister, and then for another four months to tell my mother (who already knew and was dropping enormous hints that she did).

Powerful speech from actress Ellen Page as she shares her thoughts on equality and her own coming out as a young gay woman.

[@DozerfleetProd]

The right to stampede and extort business owners to accept the unacceptable, while punishing them for refusal to comply with extortion in a way that is in far excess of the 8th Amendment's permissions, thus violating the business owner's right, is not "equality." It is pervertsexual supremacist rhetoric.

[@muffinman333]

The Dozerfleet Channel So it's not okay to discriminate against people for their skin color, race, background, creed or gender, but it's completely okay to discriminate against them for their sexuality? Step into the 21st century dude, before you get caught looking like a jackass on the wrong side of history.

[@ThisIsErdoS]

Equality isn't just about lgbt rights. It's about treating each other with respect because we're all human beings. Human rights, not just gay rights. A lot of you are missing the point. I encourage you to re-watch this and really listen to what Ellen is saying. The part that struck me most, as a straight, American female, was this: "If we took just five minutes to recognize each other's beauty instead of attacking each other for our differences.. That's not hard. It's really and easier and better way to live." This world would be a whole lot better if we all made an effort to be less horrible to one another.

[@sechsundneunzighd6424]

Ich hätte nie für möglich gehalten, dass ich Ellen Page noch mehr mögen und respektieren könnte - aber sie hat es definitiv geschafft. Wenn man darüber nachdenkt, ist es dennoch traurig, dass ein Outing noch immer so eine große Sache ist, obwohl es in der Natur kaum etwas normaleres als Sexualität gibt. Es ist traurig, dass unsere Gesellschaft noch nicht so weit ist, Diversität in dieser, aber auch anderen Hinsichten voll und ganz zu akzeptieren. Hoffentlich erreichen wir diesen Punkt noch! Danke, Ellen, für die inspirierende Rede!

Stop hating. Do you even know how much courage this took for her to do this?

Ellen has so much courage and I'm reading THSES awful comments saying she 'arrogantly' came out!!! Do you know how hard that must have been? It could be a career ruiner, and she could lose supporters. (Which it shouldn't be) wow I just have no words. Stop hating on Ellen, I have no words the courage and bravery she expressed in her speech.

"It could be a career ruiner" no lol. She did this to boost her career since it's in a bit of a lull at the moment, obviously.

[@cherryasmr3782]

But who is hating on Ellen? All I see are support messages. The few who say things against her are the minority and should be ignored.

[@greenpostdoc]

SheepEsquire And you obviously have reliable evidence to back up the assertion that she did this to boost her career ....? Disregard. Of course you don't. Stating something to be true -- doesn't make it so. Please stop making misattributed cause-and-effect relationships. If anything, this move will severely restrict the roles available to Ellen should she wish to continue in the motion picture industry. She might actually have to consider other vocational options. Only time will tell. But consider this: her presence at the conference wasn't announced. Her name wasn't on the conference schedule. She wasn't the keynote speaker -- but if she had -- the conference would have used her name to promote it and all the major networks would have been contacted. This clearly wasn't about publicity. This was about someone who is extraordinarily honest, deeply passionate, possesses tremendous courage, has razor-sharp intelligence, is titanically talented -- but was in gut-wrenching pain. We could learn a lot from Ellen if only we took the time to consider the other part of her message -- re: "the world would be a much better place if we only made the effort to be less horrible to each other". This message was for everybody -- everywhere. It was a message of peace and tolerance. Sadly that went right over your head.

A lot of people think that the "difficulties" of coming out are just over hyped and "OH! what's so bloody difficult about it?!", but to go ahead and accept an aspect of your existence when you know 90 out of the 100 people around you might be rejecting you, you'll suddenly be on the wrong side of the god loving oops, no: god fearing world; you might be subjected to incessant bullying, stares, back chatter and mistreatment at every level; THEN it takes a hell lot of courage to come out. Some of these countries, organizations and individuals are doing such fantastic work! And it's such a morale boost for young people to accept this part of themselves when they see high profile individuals taking the chance at doing so! Such a genuine and inspiring speech Ellen! Looks like All "Ellen"(s) are awesome ^_^

[@yellowbellylover]

People are saying who cares, but i think her doing this brings out the courage in other young people to do the same. It's leading by example, showing young and sometimes older people that it's ok to be gay. It's not a disease, it's who you are and nobody should be ashamed of who they are. And the person who wrote the disgusting comment "i'd kill my daughter blah blah blah" you are what is wrong with this world not your daughter. What gives you the right to stop her being happy?

[@Hermione2286]

My dad told me if I ever became a lesbian he'd "step and stop it". He criticises me because I "defend lesbians" and because I "dress like a boy".

harley55dv What an incredibly cynical statement to make, and completely off topic. Please take your agenda elsewhere.

[@chriswads]

Ryan Lamont This may have taken guts. I watch and I am so unaffected by any words she says. This may be because I am not gay and haven't been abused for it, or because I am a little disaffected by the argument. Where is the "I don't care what you fuck, just get on with things" campaign, because I'd sign up for that. :)

[@TheRyanLamont]

Chris Watters You may think the 'I don't care what you fuck, just get on with things' campaign would appeal to the LGBT community - Just treat everything as normal, no need to voice it. But what you're actually suggesting is "Be gay, but don't talk about it because it makes me uncomfortable". Straight people can proudly confess their love, admiration and such for a loved one and be met with positive reaction. But the fact is, being gay can get you killed in some countries, imprisoned in others and neglected in many. So we need the "Be proud to be gay" campaign. We need LGBT voices in the public light, to inspire, comfort and motivate the LGBT youth and community as a whole. There's a lot more work to be done to generate societal acceptance of the LGBT community, and I hope you'll support such work with an open mind.
