Ellen Page is gay
Well, that's interesting.
http://gawker.com/ellen-page-comes-o...ium=socialflow Actress Ellen Page publicly came out as gay Friday evening, while giving a speech at Time to THRIVE, a national LGBTQ youth conference held in Las Vegas. "I'm here today because I am gay," Page told the assembled crowd, which responded with a standing ovation and a long chorus of cheers. "Whoo!" said Page, before continuing: Quote:
After her speech, the Human Rights Campaign, which organized the conference, congratulated Page on the front page of its website for "her brave decision to live openly and authentically." Last edited by Hammock Parties; 02-15-2014 at 01:09 AM.. |

It is better it's out in the open. Then having your daughter marry a man who's out meeting guys at the I-70 bathrooms. Or your son supporting a woman who's out spreading it for biker chicks.

It's tough to tell, but I feel like the "why do they keep telling us? Why can't they just be gay and keep it to themselves?" comment is thinly veiled homophobia. |

The most vocal and harshly critical gay bashers often turn out be closet homosexuals who are desperately trying to prove to themselves and others how "straight" they are.
I think we are seeing some of that in this thread. |

This is largely due to my hanging out with people with whom I would disagree on a number of issues. And I'm not 'sick of it' or 'offended by it,' just weary of the Pavlovian feedback loop. I'm gay [massive applause] I think it's great s/he said s/he's gay!! So eloquent, I'm in tears. |

Please to note that I made a specific assertion, albeit a sarcastic one. I didn't make a scurrilous generalization, and intone that an unidentified set of people posting here might be guilty of said scurrilous generalization. And that doesn't even address the hypocrisy of critiquing 'detractors' of homosexuality by accusing them of said homosexuality, as if it were something to be ACCUSED of, as in a shameful designation. |

Almost as bad as the people who jump up and down and go overboard when someone announces they are gay so people won't think they are homophobic. Reminds me of the people who say "I have a lot of black friends."
