X-Men Actress Ellen Page Admits She's Gay

Hollywood star Ellen Page has opened up about her sexuality, admitting she is gay. The revelation had come as a shock, but it should be a benefit for her future after she admitted hiding it had made her suffer from mental health problems, which she should now see improve with her announcement. The star has been in many successful films, like Juno and X-Men, but at the young age of 26, she still has a lot of room to add to her already illustrious career. The star seemed relieved to reveal her secret and she can now focus on herself and her career.

The beautiful, small star received a standing ovation, showing the world can indeed accept and embrace such news, even if it's a minor shock. With NCAA athlete Michael Sam and Ellen Page coming out within a week of one another, it is a real sign of the clear understanding and respect the world now has when treating everybody and everything equally.

Page had been linked to many male celebrity hunks, yet nothing seemed to materialize, yet now we know why. It seemed she had feared a public backlash, but perhaps the respect Sam got last week prompted her to make her announcement sooner than even she had anticipated, and she wouldn't be disappointed, with thousands of fans taking to social media to show their support of her as a person, and her announcement. With this no longer being kept a secret, we should see the happiest Ellen Page we've ever seen.
