Ellen Page has come out

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Bad news for the male gender, but it was obviously too heavy for her to bear any longer.

A masterful speech anyway, the girl can speak and, though emotionally overwhelmed, handle a crowd.

Hats off for that.

[FORD]

Wasn't all surprised at this news. She always looked like a younger Melissa Etheridge to me. Now I know why......

I look forward to the day where people don't have to 'come out'. People don't 'come out' as heterosexual, and I have no idea why we have to know about anyone else's sexuality.

Until that day comes, coming out is still a big deal.

I agree, who cares about anybody's sexual preferences, just as long as they're good... If homosexuals still hesitate about revealing it, it's because of a still widespread resent about gayness. Things tend to be easier from decade to decade, but ostracism remains rooted in certain people's minds.
Many people are keen on categorizing others, whether they are famous or folks next door.
In recent years, some countries have institutionalized gay marriage, so that many have been able to stop hiding it - getting married or not. One of my students this year lets it completely show, carrying fashion handbags and all... Inside I find it ridiculous, but I keep it to myself and respect him as a person and one my pupils. Ten-fifteen years ago, no student would ever have made it conspicuous like that. Last year's new law for gay marriage also liberated behaviours on a daily basis.
The debate about it was really raging In the whole country.
I was not really for it, except that it grants homosexuals the right to transfer their ownings to their partner, which I find fair. Mostly I was in favour of it when it came to speak with stubborn, ultra-conservative persons, just to piss them off.

Anyway, beyond the topic, I found Ellen Page's speech full of mastery, which isn't that common, whatever your age. Props to her - if she can work it out like this about something that bugs her so much, then she can do just anything before an audience.

Maybe we should make a heterosexual flag and organize parades.

[Angel]

Heterosexual's don't need to come out because they already are.

[Nitro Express]

Heterosexual's don't need to come out because they already are.

Not enough though. We need parades and flags and matching uniforms.

[WARF's Vagina]

Now Roth needs to come out of the closet and announce that he swings both ways. Men and boys!

[VAiN]

Not enough though. We need parades and flags and matching uniforms.

You're on to something. We don't even get our own month, day or anything.. That's crap.

Straight people never needed them.

Hell, you're in Florida. That means you could walk down the street and shoot a random teenager for no reason, and get away with it.

Now THAT is "special rights"!

there was a bloody nose...

[Fairwrning]

It would be interesting though if every heterosexual celebrity made a point out of saying it in their next interview.
Would it be considered anti-gay? Would gay people feel slighted? I mean not many proclaim " Im Straight"..
Why does a gay person feel the need to say " Im gay"..not trying to be a smartass just wondering..

[Kristy]

Who the fuck cares? Shit actress. Is she thinking "Golly, my frozen hillbilly Canadian clit is gonna get in on some of that hot Hollywood pussy now!" Piss off back to your dull "independent films" bitch where even they don't give a shit on what you say - as long as you work for scale.
