Yesterday February 14th, at a Human Rights Campaign conference in Las
Vegas for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender, LGBT, youths, 27
year old Hollywood actress and Oscar nominee Ellen Page came out as a
lesbian.
“I’m here today because I am gay. And because maybe I
can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful
time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social
responsibility. If we took just 5 minutes to recognize each other’s beauty, instead of
attacking each other for our differences. That’s not hard. It’s really
an easier and better way to live. And ultimately, it saves lives. Then
again, it’s not easy at all. It can be the hardest thing, because loving
other people starts with loving ourselves and accepting ourselves. I
know many of you have struggled with this. I draw upon your strength and
your support, and have, in ways you will never know.” Ellen said
