Ellen Page, the 26-year-old Canadian actress best known for her lead role in the 2007 blockbuster film Juno, revealed Friday that she is gay, despite having been romantically linked to several male actors in the past. The star - who is known for her activism and says she identifies herself as a pro-choice feminist - made her announcement while delivering a speech at the Human Rights Campaign's Time To THRIVE conference for LGBTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning] youth in Las Vegas on Friday, noting that she is 'sick of lying by omission.'
In her speech, Page said she hoped her news would help others struggling with their sexuality, saying: 'I'm here today because I am gay. And because maybe I can make a difference.
