“Inception” star Ellen Page celebrated Valentine’s Day by coming out publicly in a speech at the Human Rights Campaign’s Time To Thrive conference on Friday.
The reaction from friends and admirers in Hollywood and the industry at large was quick and very supportive. And, Page may have gotten a date out of it.
Props to @EllenPage for helping so many people through their daily struggles by courageously leading by example and coming out on V Day!
