Ellen Page
Ellen Grace Philpotts-Page (also known as Elliot Page, per her own wishes (born February 21, 1987) is a Canadian actress and producer. Page is a lesbian.
In 2008, Page was one of 30 celebrities who participated in an online ad series for US Campaign for Burma, calling for an end to the military dictatorship in Burma. She describes herself as a pro-choice feminist. She attended Buddhist school in her youth and practiced meditation and yoga. She practices a vegan lifestyle, and PETA named her and Jared Leto the Sexiest Vegetarians of 2014. She is an atheist, having remarked that religion "has always been used for beautiful things, and also as a way to justify discrimination".
On February 14, 2014, Page came out as gay during a speech at the Human Rights Campaign's "Time to Thrive" conference in Las Vegas. In 2014, she was included as part of The Advocate's annual "40 Under 40" list.
On November 10, 2017, Page alleged that filmmaker Brett Ratner outed her as gay on the set of X-Men: The Last Stand, when she was 18 years old, nearly a decade before she came out publicly. In a long Facebook post, she expressed gratitude towards people who were breaking the silence against abuse, and expressed her frustration at the pattern of looking the other way in industry. Fellow actress Anna Paquin expressed support for Page, stating she was present when Ratner made the comment.
In January 2018, Page married dancer and choreographer Emma Portner.
In 2020, she came out as "transsexual".
