That’s probably gonna be an offensive question but I’ll take my shot. Now that he’s transgender, will he stay is a woman’s body but still wanna be called a man or will he eventually get surgery? Again, I’m sorry if this comes out as offensive but to be honest I’m not the smartest person ever so I don’t know 🤷♂️
Honestly, I always had the feeling that Ellen Page was a lesbian I don't know why. It's not like it's very evident, but I just had a feeling. Ok now I sound crazy lol.
Ghost Nappa why do you think it's ok to be rude and state that "you would fuck the shit out of her"? first of all ew. no one cares. and her sexuality doesn't matter to you cos she wouldn't fuck you even if she were straight. secondly she's not a piece of meat. i know she's hot. i'm just saying your comment is inappropriate af.
I remember watching Juno when I was 12 years old, and having the biggest crush on Ellen Page. I always felt like she was gay, glad my gaydar wasn't off!
@@JessicabelliciMa1 because it's still considered normal to be more heterosexual than homosexual or bisexual. Because the majority or people are straight
... How so? The people who ask why it's a big deal are asking that because they think it should just be a universally accepted thing. It should be as simple as her height or hair colour.
they act like gay people don't get discriminated against every day and you cant get killed for being gay. are we forgetting that until this year you couldnt get married everywhere in the states if you were gay? it IS big deal to come out because it's always unpredictable what peoples reactions will be. KIDS are kicked out of their homes. It's a big deal.
The only thing all lesbians have in common (other than liking women) is that they are women. I think she fits this criteria. I'm not sure what looking gay vs. straight would really be though.
Chungus Big, yeah it’s all how they were taught. In the movie 42 about Jackie Robinson, there’s a scene where Jackie is on the field and people are screaming the N word at him, and a son is looking at his father doing it, and he started doing it to. Just like that, that boy might grow up to be a racist all because of the people around him
I felt bad for the gay people for having to come out.. I mean as a hetero... I dun have to come out saying "I'm straight" i just wish ppl can understand that love is love... I hope one day coming out is unnecessary for everyone... Ppl won't need to say "I'm gay" but they could just say "I'm in love"
I can concur 100% to that. Love who you love and that's it. Not like one has to fall in love with the entire world. No one is forcing their sexuality on anyone else. Live and let live as long it isn't causing intentional harm to anyone else.
JAMES DEL CARMEN well people just assume your straight until you come out because we live in a heteronormative society. You shouldn’t have to, but it is also an important part of your identity.
Hi, everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to COME OUT and announce to the world that I am Straight. Wow you might say, that's no big deal. Then why are we judging gay people? Remember no matter what your sexual preference is you are human first with feelings and emotions.
Congrats, you can "come out" as what everyone is assumed to be at birth. Yes, I hope to see that some day we don't have to come out or hide our sexuality but the fact is, we are treated horribly for who we are. Coming out is important, especially when it is someone who gets as much attention as Ellen Page, because it reminds the homophobic world that we are here and we aren't backing down. I understand that you meant no harm but it really is insulting that you think it's the same to "come out" as straight. You never had to come out, you don't know how hard it actually is. Please don't tell me you also think there should be "white history month" and "men's rights activism" as well.
bowiechick I am sorry if you feel insulted by my comment. that was not my intention. All I was intending to do was show people no matter what your sexual preference is you should not be stereotyped. I might not be gay but I do have a great understanding of what it is like living in shame and fear of what the world might think of you if you lived your life to its truest, that's another story for another day. Take care.
bowiechick "we are treated horribly for who we are"? NOT YOU. You live in Oregon where same-sex marriage is legal. You have rights. Quit with that victim mentality nonsense!
You all keep asking why gay people have to come out, it's because literally EVERYONE I'm everyday situations assume you're straight, they'll say thing like "Do you have a boyfriend yet?" And even doctors assume you're straight. It gets very uncomfortable to correct them because you don't know how they'll react, but it's also uncomfortable to have to flat out lie and change pronouns or say you're single when you're not. I was sexuality assaulted by one of my male friends who one day decided he wanted sleep with me, and I declined and declined and finally told him I was gay and didn't want it and well that made him angry. It IS scary and brave to come out!
People tell me I look like I'm 15 without my makeup on, Really is a compliment, Let's me know I got my momma's genes! My mom just turned 40 but she looks like she should be a senior in High School, She still is amazingly beautiful ! People like us are just lucky, my mom always hears that she hit the gene jackpot Lol. (Also beats having to worry bout aging) :D
Sinead Norris Yes, thats a good thing. However, the fact that she even has to "come out" in the first place is sad. The pressure that people have to deal with because of their sexual preferences is unfortunate.
+Charlie Shin Are you trolling or are you that misinformed? You're not completely an idiot, because the word gay does have an emphasis on males. But... it still applies to either male or female. Go to google - type in "Define: Gay" Thanks for your time.
Shane Dobson Are you just thick or trolling? Actor/Actress -- but "actress" is a dying word. Even women are actors now. Comedian/Comedienne -- with the latter almost completely gone from our vocabulary. Manager/Manageress -- with "manageress" being dead and buried. Doctor/Doctress -- and obviously "doctress" is now gone as well. As we remove the gender from common words, the tendency is to use the masculine version for all. (that reason is a worthy discussion in and of itself, but not relevant to this point) Back before the 80's the colloquial word for homosexual men was "gay". The colloquial word for homosexual women was "lesbian". Lesbian still lives on, but gay now applies almost equally to both. The rapid change has happened in my life as an "out" gay man. When I first came out (ummm. . . 1994?), it was still pretty uncommon to refer to a female homosexual as "gay" Your not completely wrong but i suggest you shut the fuck up if i'm right about some something the word lesbian hasn't fully disappeared yet which means im actually correct. Good day
Because it is reminding her of the struggle she had to go through and that moment in her life that was very emotional. Hell I don't even know how she held it together.
I think it is so sad that, just because actresses or actors for that sake, have to make an actually speech where they tell about their love life? Who cares if she is gay or not, it doesn't matter to me, as long as she has someone to love and love her back. Did the non-gay actors make a speech about not being gay?
Unfortunately, people are assumed to be straight unless they say otherwise. And the tabloids love to make scandals out of the every day lives of celebrities. Also very unfortunately, there are people who *do* care if she's gay or not, who will judge her, who have judged her. Her coming out and saying "I am gay" is empowering herself to be who she is, not who others expect her to be. Someday, it won't matter and there won't have to be a "coming out speech" for gay people. Right now, it's important to understand and accept that all people are different, we are all individuals who have different feelings, needs and desires. Having celebrities saying "I am gay and I'm ok" is extremely important for many young people who have been told all of their lives that being gay is a sin or is wrong or is dirty. No one is made to feel that way about being straight.
The speech was for the Human Rights Campaign, so it kind of made sense. It's cool when straight allies make a HRC speech, but I was able to relate to her a lot more once she came out
If you actually watch or listen to her speech, it's not about the fact that she's gay. She only mentions it about halfway through. The speech itself is about masculine and feminine stereotypes and the prejudice and struggles that many members of the LGBTQ community face.
Heis so brave, I'm speechless. I don't even dare to come out to my mom, and he just comes out to the entire world. Great job, Elliot and Ellen.. You inspire people everyday, and make them believe they can be whatever they want to be, and that they just need to be themselves. It's great to see that they just talk about their sexuality openly like this. Praise.
One day we'll live in a world where there's no need to be brave in order to come out. Until then, stay strong and know there are millions out there who support you :)
Prodipto majumder My mom probably doesn't even care. My family is not the type of family that would make a big issue about it, but something stops me from telling them.
I feel like the term "coming out of the closet" has a sort of awkward, negative connotation to it because of all of the bullying and harassment ppl have gotten over the years. She should just say "thanks for revealing who you really are, and staying true to yourself".
Yeah I know right! I feel like they're supporting the "stereotype" of being gay is wrong, or something like that. I totally understand what you mean. I feel like gays would be offended by saying that
Wuwlf Still, just using that phrase I think would/should offend a gay person. I would just say "revealed" or "told anyone". Nonetheless, it was a good interview and stuff. I don't want to sound critical or anything
Mathew Mozaffari my dad is happily gay with his partner for 15 years and he uses the term "closeted" all of the time in reference to someone who is gay but hasn't come out. My best friend is gay as well and she uses that term. I have never met a gay person (and I've talked to many) who think that the term "coming out of the closet" is offensive.
No, elliot page is he. He is a transgender man meaning he was born with female genes but his brain is that of a guy and just recently learned so, and expressed it to the world via a heartfelt twitter post
People who are gay should just be able to say to next person "I'm gay." and people are like "Cool. Whatever." It shouldn't be a scary thing to say. Humans can be so disappointing, esp in this day & age.
It is amazing how many comment's and people behind them are STUPID. I congrats both Ellen, If they are happy go for it girls. It's hard sometimes not to feel ashamed of something or regrets (not only about the gay thing) but also for a lot of other stuff. We need to LEARN to RESPECT MORE, and mind our own busineess.. Peace
I'm 18, but I just can't wait until I'm old and a grandparent. I just want to see what all has changed. In the past 10 years, being gay has really changed. A lot more people accept it. By the time I'm old, hopefully it's become acceptable by most people. But just like racism, there will always be a few.
Most of the world do accept it, around 60% of people living in america and europe are in favour of gay marriage. Most of the people that are against it are 50+ years old so yeah when you are a grandparent gays will most likely be accepted by everyone
cahan mclaughlin um you forgot Asia, where I'm sure at least 90% are furiously against it. The people here speak of it as if it's the plague, and I'm not just referring to the older generation.
Yeah but i dont really think asia deserve to be included in this subject. Most people in asia are on minium wage and/or homeless and gaming isnt even allowed in china?
MOST is a bit too harsh, don't you think? Certainly more, but the statistics definitely don't justify the usage of MOST. And um I don't understand how gaming is related to this? (but no i don't think so the chinese are one of the fiercest players i've seen)
I'm bi ... The only member of my family after my dad disowned me that I felt I could tell and trust was my uncle for some reason I couldn't tell my mum and still can't ... My uncle was so understanding and we texted about it but since he died through suicide five months ago I've felt like I've got no where to go and it's horrible but knowing I'm not alone keeps me going
Chloe Edwards being bi myself i used to punch my dick to not get erections wen seeing naked man... now that i'm an adult fuck it, sometimes even gay people tell me to stop lying and choose a gender to love ..
HENNI Mohamed Yeah, ironically gay people can be really close minded too. But pay them no mind. Sexuality is very complex and every person is different. People need to realize and respect that. I'm a bisexual and homoromantic woman (I'm sexually attracted to both genders but only develop romantic feelings for people of the same gender) and I don't know how to explain that because most people don't even know what a romantic orientation is or don't differentiate it from sexual orientation. I've been asked if I'm scared of men and I know some people would think that I'm just gay but too afraid to admit it. Or the classic "you just haven't met the right one". Lol yeah, sure. Most people are really uneducated about this stuff, so don't let it get to you.
@@popcultureoverdosed no she’s not. She is still a women who just amputated herself a little bit and had some testosterone pills to give the impression and delusion that she is a guy. But she is very much a women still, not particularly a pretty women like she used to be. She was a very pretty lesbian, now she’s just a clown show.
He thought he was a lesbian. It made him so happy to come out as he says. Then he became unhappy again and has now become a man and is feeling happy again... until..
I came out as bisexual not that long ago. Ellen Page is right - there really is a weight off your shoulders that I feel in every aspect of my life. It's comforting to be out. I really didn't think it'd have that big an effect on me but it really did. Both of these wonderful women are so inspiring. :D
I was married to a beautiful female for over 20 years I still love her you with all my heart but I finally admitted to myself that I was bisexual but that was not the reason we separated my name is Robert and that was the hardest thing for me to admit to myself
ChloeOfTheCookies I came out as bisexual arround 6 years ago, but now that im studying a different carreer and making knew friends im scared to tell them cause they are almost all girls and we are getting really close, Im afraid that they become distant or feel unconfortable arround me
Kimmie Turtle That's gotta be hard, girl. I can only speak from personal experience, but I believe that if they're your friends then they'll accept you regardless. If they don't, you have to ask yourself if these are the types of people you want to be around, if they don't accept you for you. My friends are all girls and they're fine with it. A few of them came out as well. Perhaps they're in the same situation as you but are waiting for someone else to come out first? Again, this is only from personal experience. Good luck. :)
Everyone saying "who cares" "it doesn't matter" "I didn't have to come out as straight" literally get a grip. The reason gay people have to come out is because otherwise you are assumed straight. Gay people HAVE to come out so they can begin to live their lives without people making false assumptions about them. Gay people don't have the luxury to just BE sorry bout it.
Honestly, I am happy for both of them on mustering up the courage to tell people they're gay but they way I see it is you shouldn't have to. Straight people don't stand in front of a crowd nervously saying that they're straight. Now don't think I'm saying anyone of the LGBT community members should not be allowed to come out but I just find it ridiculous that our society can be so close minded and hateful that someone has to "come out" before they can be seen publicly with their partner or even worse that "coming out" is the point where shame is shed. I know there are many flaws in what I'm trying to say here and that there are a gamut of arguments for and against my stance however, I'm simply stating that no one should have to carry the pain, guilt or shame of "coming out" because one should not have to. Be who you are all the time. I know that is difficult in a judging society but be you and screw anyone that wants to tell you otherwise.
Think of it as when black people were not allowed to go to school a bunch of years back. If you think about it deeply, it does make sense all these important figures are "coming out". It is not about the attention or waving your sexuality, the important part is to show people that it is normal and that everyone or anyone can like the same gender and be a successful, happy human being.... 30 years from now, no one will think much of it and coming out wont even be necessary. Black people were hated by the church all those years back, now to be racist to another person is something that can even get you in jail. The important part about it now is the ground work that will allow future kids and people in general to love whoever they want without having to worry about being mistreated or hurt physically.
Tori Harding That's an ideal that's being worked toward, but that's still a long ways off, unfortunately. There's still a massive amount of homophobia and transphobia, and demonstrating that LGBT+ people are, in fact, people you know and like, is a good way to help further that effort toward sexualities and genders no longer being "one is normal and presumed, the others are things you HAVE to say you are."
I agree, you shouldn't have to "come out". Or be stuck in a closet for the rest of your life. Being gay or straight should be the norm, like having blonde hair or brown eyes. You shouldn't have to "come out". But we all know that society sucks.
@@solangelostan6016 Say what you like about Elliot as they are now, but you can see this video is of a woman called Ellen can't you? If you think the person in this video is a man then please tell me what you think a man is? And don't say "a mAN iS somEOnE wHo iDENTifiES aS a MaN!" Just give me an actual definition that you use.
