Elliot Page, the artist formerly known as Ellen Page, comes out as non-binary transgender
The artist formerly known as Ellen Page has come out as a transgender non-binary person. His name is now Elliot Page. Elliot is 33-years-old and an Oscar-nominated actor, currently starring in Netflix?s The Umbrella Academy. He issued a statement on social media (via Variety) with the announcement:

?Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot. I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can?t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self. I?ve been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society.?

?I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive. To all the trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you, and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better.

[From Variety]

By saying his pronouns are ?he/they,? Elliot means that he?s fine with being called ?he? or the non-binary they/them, which are the pronouns used by celebrities like Asia Kate Dillon and Sam Smith. I had to consult GLAAD?s style guide for accuracy, and here?s what they write about the he/they distinction: ?DO describe Elliot Page as a non-binary, transgender person. Both transgender and non-binary are umbrella terms that describe many different types of experiences. In Pages case, it can be used like this: ?Elliot Page describes themself as transgender and non-binary, meaning that their gender identity is neither man nor woman.?? The GLAAD style guide also says that anyone writing or speaking about Elliot can use he/him or they/them pronouns, because Page himself says he?s fine with either.

Elliott has been married to Emma Portney since January 2018, and Emma is completely supportive of Elliot revealing his authentic self. Emma reposted Elliot?s statement with the comment that she?s ?so proudTrans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world. I also ask for patience & privacy but that you join me in the fervent support of trans life every single day. Elliot?s existence is a gift in and of itself. Shine on sweet E. Love you so much.?

Im so happy for Elliot!

Ellen Page calls character's romance in Umbrella Academy 'meaningful representation'

Ellen Page calls character's romance in Umbrella Academy 'meaningful representation'
Spoilers for season one and two of The Umbrella Academy Follow. A major spoiler is not visible unless you highlight it.

I have been waiting a full damn year for season two of Netflixs Umbrella Academy and it did not disappoint. In season one we learn that the Umbrella Academy was helmed by an eccentric old scientist who adopted seven children with special powers (most likely because they were all supernaturally born on the same day, October 1, 1989). There may have been more but the kids dont know because they have lived most of their lives in isolation.

Their father, the eccentric, wouldnt give them actual names, they were instead given numbers based on the order they were born. Six were brought up to embrace their supernatural abilities except for Vanya, who was treated less then because she supposedly didnt have any abilities. But she found out that she was actually the most powerful and that their father had been microdosing her to mute her her powers. This led to Vanya being abused to the point that she goes off like a nuclear bomb that breaks the moon and causes a cataclysmic event that wipes out the planet.

#5, who is a time jumper, ends up sending himself and his siblings to the past in order to avoid said event. This is where we find Vanya, in the early 1960s, without her memories living with a farming family somewhere in the middle of Texas. She is taken in by husband and wife Sissy and Carl and becomes the nanny of their special needs son Harlan.

Vanya and Sissy fall in love and I wont tell you more or well get into serious spoilers.

Ellen Page, who plays Vanya, spoke with E! about the beauty and obstacles of a lesbian relationship in the 60s. Homosexuality was not only against the law but considered a mental illness. Ellen explained how that story line is relevant today.

It was beautiful in many ways to play Vanya falling in love for the first time with a woman, and not in an awful, abusive relationship like she was in the first season, thank goodness, she says. And then you want to take care of the storyline. You want to make sure youre showing the beauty and the love, and also reflecting the obstacles, of course.

She says that while a lot has changed since the 1960s, she still experiences homophobia in her own life and thinks Vanya and Sissys story doesnt feel totally stuck in the past.

It was illegal at the time, considered a mental illness, and what Vanya and Sissy go through is still very relevant, she says. Ive dealt with a lot of homophobia in my life, and I continue to. So I think it was really meaningful in terms of that representation going out into the world, especially with a show with this reach, and also just trying to be mindful of being sensitive and hopefully telling that story well.

[From E! Online]

Season two of Umbrella Academy was chaotic AF but I loved every minute of it. Vanyas love story arc, albeit sad, was very beautiful and somewhat of a history lesson of how far the LGBTQ community has come. It was also warming to see Vanya in a reciprocal love relationship after her characters trials in season one.

I also love how sensitively Ellen Page approached the story. You could see how she honored and respected her character.

Highlight the text below for spoilers for the end of season two

I wish that Sissy had chosen to go to the future with Vanya taking her son with her. Since we cant have a happy ending for Vanya, I hope in future seasons she will get the love and support she so rightly deserves. I am also excited about where they take one of the cliffhangers at the end of the season. Specifically, the one in which Sissys son Harlan retained his powers accidentally acquired from Vanya. Whatever the case, I am quite sure Season 3 will have some crazy character arcs and I cant wait to see what the writers come up with next!

Ellen Page throws shade on Chris Pratt for not discussing his anti-LGBTQ church
Chris Pratt is currently promoting The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. He appeared on The Late Show last night and as always, Pratt was a good guest. He brought photos and talked extensively about his farm, red meat, and his attempt at The Daniel Diet. Stephen Colbert is a very devout Catholic, so you could tell that Colbert was interested in how Pratt?s pastor encouraged him to try the Daniel Diet, but Colbert didn?t press Pratt too hard about any of it, the diet or Pratt?s church. Here?s the main interview, the part about the Daniel Diet comes several minutes into the

Ellen Page: Brett Ratner outed me in front of cast & crew when I was 18 years old

Ellen Page: Brett Ratner outed me in front of cast & crew when I was 18 years old
In 2006, Ellen Page appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand, one of the worst of the X-Men series. That was the film helmed by director Brett Ratner, and it was and is widely seen as one of the worst entries in the franchise. Ellen played Kitty Pryde, a young mutant at Professor X?s school for mutants. She was 18 years old when she filmed it. And Ellen has some awful stories about Brett Ratner. She wrote a lengthy Facebook post about Ratner and a lot more – you can read the full piece here. Here?s the Ratner part of it:

?You should f–k her to make her realize she?s gay.? He said this about me during a cast and crew ?meet and greet? before we began filming, X Men: The Last Stand. I was eighteen years old. He looked at a woman standing next to me, ten years my senior, pointed to me and said: ?You should f–k her to make her realize she?s gay.? He was the film?s director, Brett Ratner.

I was a young adult who had not yet come out to myself. I knew I was gay, but did not know, so to speak. I felt violated when this happened. I looked down at my feet, didn?t say a word and watched as no one else did either. This man, who had cast me in the film, started our months of filming at a work event with this horrific, unchallenged plea. He ?outed? me with no regard for my well-being, an act we all recognize as homophobic. I proceeded to watch him on set say degrading things to women. I remember a woman walking by the monitor as he made a comment about her ?flappy p–sy?.

We are all entitled to come into an awareness of our sexual orientation privately and on our own terms. I was young and although already a working actor for so long I had in many ways been insulated, growing up on film sets instead of surrounded by my peers. This public, aggressive outing left me with long standing feelings of shame, one of the most destructive results of homophobia. Making someone feel ashamed of who they are is a cruel manipulation, designed to oppress and repress. I was robbed of more than autonomy over my ability to define myself.

Ratner?s comment replayed in my mind many times over the years as I encountered homophobia and coped with feelings of reluctance and uncertainty about the industry and my future in it. The difference is that I can now assert myself and use my voice to to fight back against the insidious queer and transphobic attitude in Hollywood and beyond. Hopefully having the position I have, I can help people who may be struggling to be accepted and allowed to be who they are ?to thrive. Vulnerable young people without my advantages are so often diminished and made to feel they have no options for living the life they were meant to joyously lead.

I got into an altercation with Brett at a certain point. He was pressuring me, in front of many people, to don a t-shirt with ?Team Ratner? on it. I said no and he insisted. I responded, ?I am not on your team.? Later in the day, producers of the film came to my trailer to say that I ?couldn?t talk like that to him.? I was being reprimanded, yet he was not being punished nor fired for the blatantly homophobic and abusive behavior we all witnessed. I was an actor that no one knew. I was eighteen and had no tools to know how to handle the situation.

[From Ellen?s Facebook]

I believe Ellen Page. I also believe that dozens (if not hundreds) of actors and below-the-line talent probably have similar stories about Brett Ratner?s behavior, his assault, his general grossness, his casual sexism, misogyny and homophobia. Lest we forget, he was basically fired from producing the Oscars because he said ?rehearsal is for f-gs.? Also: Anna Paquin remembers the day Ratner outed Ellen too:

I was there when that comment was made. I stand with you .@EllenPage https://t.co/DEIvKDXeEL

Ellen Page has Kristen Wiig's name tattooed on her arm
I don?t have high hopes for Flatliners. That doesn?t really break my heart as I thought the first one was just okay. Like the first film, though, I like the cast enough that I will probably see it at some point, most likely on my couch while eating pizza. The film?s lead, Ellen Page, is doing press so I?m grateful for that because I quite like Ellen. When she appeared on Conan O?Brien the other night, Conan brought up the fact that Ellen has many tattoos, which I did not know. When he asked how she decided what to get, Ellen said most of her tattoos were homemade and designed by her friends. Obviously ?homemade? and ?tattoo? are not words you hear together very often so Conan asked Ellen to describe what they were. Ellen went one better and showed a couple. It turns out that on her left bicep, she sports a tattoo that reads ?WIIG? and that is, in fact, for her friend and Whip It co-star, Kristen Wiig.

Huh. I?m kind of reevaluating my friends’ dedication to me since I am fairly certain none of them have inked any part of me on any part of them. Maybe I should start randomly autographing their forearms and suggest, ?hey, that would make a great tattoo.?

I suspect there?s something more to the story that Ellen wants to keep private. Maybe Kristen gave her advice or counsel when Ellen really needed it and Ellen inked her name as a homage. If that?s the case, that?s really sweet. Most of us have these talismans in some form, don?t we? I have a few clothing items that once belonged to folks close to me that I wear like armor. I mean, I asked for it, I wasn?t sneaking around closets swiping stuff.

If I am being honest, there is something fascinating to me about Kristen?s last name. I think it?s the double ?I? and the fact that it?s only four letters. Like, half her name is ?I?s. Visually, it?s engaging to me and I linger on it whenever I read it. So, when Ellen joked, “I don?t know her at all, it just seemed like a nice gesture because I?m a big fan,? I believed her. (I forgot all about Whip It) It?s cool. I like it but it does also kind of look like Ellen got bored in math class and started doodling on her arm. I wonder if that?s the intent?

At least it?s a tiny version of her last name and not a portrait of Kristen?s face. I mean, that?s Drake?s MO, right?

Ellen Page declares that she 'loves' girlfriend Samantha Thomas at TIFF
Ellen Page made her red carpet debut with her girlfriend Samantha Thomas two nights ago at TIFF. They came out for the TIFF premiere of Freeheld, the film where Ellen stars with Julianne Moore. We?ve seen Ellen with Samantha before ? in August, they were pap?d together in NYC and I said Samantha looked a bit like Elle Macpherson. She does look sort of Elle-esque, although without sunglasses, I?m getting more of a ?blonde Catherine Keener? vibe. At the premiere, Ellen wore YSL ? I like her in leather pants! Anyway, Ellen and Samantha have been going strong for seven months and Ellen told E! News that it?s L-O-V-E.

Ellen Page had a special plus one at the Toronto International Film Festival Sunday night. At the premiere of her latest film Freeheld, the actress walked the red carpet with her girlfriend Samantha Thomas. This was the first red carpet for the couple. Why tonight, you may ask?

Page told me with a big smile, “I’m in love.”

Freeheld has been a passion project for Page so the premiere seemed like the right time for their glamorous public debut. Page told E! News exclusively that “walking down the carpet holding my girlfriend’s hand is pretty special.”

“It’s pretty awesome,” she added.

[From E! News]

Aw, she?s in love. That?s really sweet. Ellen spoke to The Daily Beast about all things LGBT, her project with Vice (in which she confronts homophobia in politics) and Kim Davis too ? you can read the full piece here.

Ellen Page on religion: 'Personally, I?m an atheist, so I just have no time for it'
Ever since Ellen Page came out last year, she?s just seemed so much lighter, happier, more engaging and overall ?better.? Like, coming out publicly made her a better person and she feels better about herself. Ellen has a new interview in Time Magazine ? I?m pretty sure that this was supposed to be a breezy, short interview to preview her Oscar-baity film Freeheld, but Ellen ended up giving a really in-depth interview about LGBTQ politics, religion, Canada and a lot more. And yes, I think Freeheld will probably be up for some awards ? it?s the true story of a New Jersey cop (played by Julianne Moore) who is dying and wants to leave her police benefits to her partner, played by Ellen Page, and the larger struggle for equality in domestic partnership. You can read Ellen?s full Time Magazine piece here. Some highlights:

Don?t call actors ?brave?: ?Maybe this is a bad thing to say, but I have a hard time when people call actors brave. I don?t really get that, because our job is to read something on a page?When people are [called] brave in regards to playing LGBTQ people, that?s borderline offensive. I?m never going to be considered brave for playing a straight person, and nor should I be. It?s hard to say this, because the context of the film is so deeply tragic, but for me there was a deep sense of peace on set that I had not felt in a really long time?There was something about being out, getting to play a gay character, and getting to play a woman who is so inspiring to me?it was such an amazing experience for me. Honestly, if I played gay characters for the rest of my career, I?d be thrilled. I wish I could, honestly!?

How she decided to come out: ?I remember watching the Pussy Riot documentary and thinking, ?Oh my God. The courage of these people.? It?s just like, ?Dude, come out?just say you?re gay. You?re privileged, you have a family. You have no excuse.? It kind of got to the point of?I felt guilty, to be honest with you, and I believe I absolutely should have. It?s become kind of a moral imperative to speak up. I know there?s been so much progress, but there?s still so much suffering in America, in Canada, and all over the world.

Before she came out, she was depressed: ?For me, the level of sadness and lack of inspiration and joy in general?that was hurting my work. I didn?t feel motivated. I was just depressed. Going to meetings, or trying to push for things: It was this little flame that was barely flickering anymore. The moment I came out, I felt every cell in my body transform. I was happier than I ever could have imagined. You feel excited about life, and motivated and inspired. You want to do more. You want to go on adventures. For the most part that was gone.?

Backlash to the SCOTUS gay marriage decision: ?In regards to the gay-marriage decision, we?re seeing tons of backlash. The anti-gay rhetoric of the right is turning into, ?Gays are actually bigoted against us because we don?t get to express our religious freedom.? Religion has always been used for beautiful things, and also as a way to justify discrimination?whether it?s gender, or race, or the LGBT community, or what have you. Personally, I?m an atheist, so I just have no time for it. So that will be the next challenge?

The cruelty toward the LGBTQ community: ?It still happens everywhere. There hasn?t been one GOP candidate, I don?t think, who?s outwardly spoken to a gay rights activist. There?s plenty of areas in places we consider gay havens or gay meccas that are not necessarily comfortable places to be existing as who you are or to grow up as who you are. That?s what really breaks my heart: The shame and toxicity that exists in people. Or some of the most homophobic people, the most violently homophobic people, probably just are gay themselves. That?s obviously going to be more of a massive societal consciousness change, which is probably going to take a while.

Whether Canada is better for LGBTQ issues: ?Canada has a lot of issues, and a lot of similar issues in terms of racism, treatment of native people? The difference I feel in Canada is religion is way less intense. That?s not to say there?s not lots of religious people in Canada who observe whatever religion they choose to partake in, but the rhetoric influencing politicians, laws, and human rights, is just not the same. For me, that?s what separates it.

[From Time Magazine]

At the end of the interview, Ellen is asked about religion and speaking to religious people about LGBTQ issues and she talks at length about how difficult it is to even have a conversation with hardcore believers and how she?s been told that someday she?ll find God and settle down with a man and she replies with ?Well, not gonna happen, but you enjoy your time in heaven. I?ll be down in hell.? Which is the equivalent of a shrug and a ?You do you, I?m fine, thanks.? Anyway, Ellen was really on-point here. Love her.

Ellen Page got pap?d with her tall, blonde surfer girlfriend of seven months
It feels like Ellen Page came out years and years ago, right? But it was just last year, February 2014, when Ellen went on stage at Time to THRIVE conference and publicly declared ?I?m here today because I am gay.? Since that moment, Ellen has seemed happier than ever. In interviews, there?s been a noticeable shift in her attitude. She seems lighter, more Zen and more engaged and engaging. When she came out last year, she said that she wasn?t dating anyone in particular but she was ready for a grown-up romance and love. And she may have found it!

These are photos of Ellen and her girlfriend Samantha Thomas, out and about in NYC earlier this week. Thomas is being described as an ?artist and avid surfer.? She looks like a young Elle Macpherson, right? For a moment, I actually thought Ellen was dating Elle Macpherson. According to Us Weekly?s sources, Ellen and Samantha have actually been dating quietly for seven months. There?s only been a handful of rumors about them and those rumors are just from the past month. So? they?re capable of keeping their business locked down.

What else do we know about Thomas? She grew up in Texas. She?s 33 years old right now (Page is 28). Her art is mostly 3D paintings. She was offered a golf scholarship to the University of Tulsa but turned it down to study art in LA. She lives in Malibu right now. And finally, you can see Samantha Thomas?s Instagram here.

I?m happy for Ellen! I worry about the height difference though. Samantha is easily 6 foot tall or more and Ellen is what? 5?1??

Ellen Page 'felt guilty, felt like an a?hole' before she decided to come out
Out Magazine?s December issue has four covers celebrating their ?awards? for the year. Ellen Page won ?Entertainer of the Year? for coming out on Valentine?s Day of this year. Zachary Quinto won Artist of the Year, Samira Wiley won Ingenue of the Year and Sam Smith won Breakout of the Year. I?m totally fine with Page, Wiley and Smith, but it seems like Quinto was honored just because he?s a cute gay guy and they wanted to make him pose for some photos. Anyway, you can see Out Mag?s full Out 100 package here. Here are some highlights from Ellen Page?s interview:

Page on her life post-coming out: ?You just feel different in the world. Once you?ve done something that you used to think was impossible, what could ever really scare you again? Even now, press is more enjoyable because I don?t have to have certain conversations. For instance, I?m never going to have to have a conversation about a dress, or heels, ever again.?

She felt like she couldn?t invite her girlfriend to the Oscars: ?No one?s ever been so direct as to say, ?You?re gay, so we?re gonna hide it.? But there?s an unspoken thing going on. [People] believe it?s the right thing to do for your career. They don?t realize it?s eroding your soul. It was eventually about me being like, Wait, why am I listening to that? At what point did I let those things become important?

Why she decided to come out: For Page, a game-changing moment came not long ago, when she watched TV host (and fellow Canadian) George Stroumboulopoulos chat with Dan Savage, who voiced his steadfast opinion that coming out is a moral imperative. ?The way he spoke of it left very little leeway, and it really stuck with me,? Page says. ?We all go through a journey and get where we need to be, but I really did start feeling guilty. I kind of felt like an a–hole.?

Working on the true story of ?Freeheld?: ?It?s very direct in showing how discrimination against the LGBT community affects people. There?s no getting around the unfairness that happened here, and just how illogical and almost psychopathic it felt. And it?s so exciting to get to do a love story with the sex that you actually fall for. I?m thrilled about it.?

Her sexuality is not a trend, but she?s fine with all of it: ?Even if it did become a trend, who cares, right? Let being yourself become a trend.?

I?ve always found Dan Savage?s speeches, interviews and writings particularly inspiring as well, so I get where she?s coming from. I doubt Savage was trying to shame her or make her feel like an a?hole though! Savage?s message is always pretty clear ? LGBTQ adults should come out so that the LGBTQ kids will feel like there IS a way forward, that they are not alone, that it gets better. And what I love about Ellen Page?s coming out and everything that?s happened with her life since then is that she genuinely seems happier. She?s ?lighter?. She?s not carrying a secret, her worst fears never came true and it?s just easier to be who she is.

Ellen Page's lesbian drama 'Freeheld' banned from filming at Catholic school
A few weeks ago, I covered these photos from the set of Freeheld, the new drama about the totally true story of a cop (played by Julianne Moore) dying of cancer, and she wants to leave her death benefits to her partner (played by Ellen Page). This particular story has been told in an Oscar-winning documentary short, but I?m looking forward to this version too, just because? Julianne and Ellen!! YAY! As it turns out, not everyone is happy that this film is being made. Specifically, one Catholic school that refused to allow the film?s production to film within the school.

Freeheld, which is currently filming in the New York area, tells the story of how a lesbian couple fought discrimination more than 10 years ago to extend domestic partner benefits. With same-sex marriage spreading state by state this year, the movie ? which stars Julianne Moore and Ellen Page, who is also a producer on the film ? might feel like it took place a long time ago.

But Freeheld?s director Peter Sollett, producers, cast, and production staff were recently reminded that while some things have changed for LGBT people, others have not.

In Freeheld ? based on Cynthia Wade?s Oscar-winning documentary short from 2007 ? Moore plays a New Jersey detective dying of lung cancer who seeks to leave her pension to her partner, played by Page. In one scene, the couple applies for a civil union, and the production needed a building that could pass for a town hall.

Initially, the location scout was told that Salesian High School, a private, all-boys Catholic school in New Rochelle, N.Y., was available for the afternoon the scene was to be filmed. But then higher-up school administrators said no. Michael Shamberg, Freeheld?s producer, told BuzzFeed News that he then appealed to Salesian?s principal, John Flaherty, who told Shamberg to send an email that he could forward to Father John Serio, the school?s president. After doing that, Shamberg never heard back from Serio, and Freeheld shot the scene somewhere else.

?I respect their right to say no,? Shamberg said. ?But it?s sad.?

When BuzzFeed News contacted Flaherty by email about the school?s reasoning in not wanting a movie with LGBT content to film there, he wrote: ?All are welcomed at Salesian High School. Our School chooses to embrace the social issues such as hunger, homelessness, poverty, and helping the less fortunate.?

When asked in a follow-up email for more specifics, Flaherty responded, ?I will let my initial statement stand for itself.?

Shamberg is right, it?s the Church?s prerogative to deny certain films the right to film on their property. But it IS sad. If this was a movie about something other than gay marriage or civil unions or equal rights for same-sex partners, I?m guessing the Church would have allowed the film production in.

Ellen chimed in on her Twitter too:

Using religion to justify bigotry makes me sad. Sending my support 2 the LGBT students at the school who I hope r able 2 find acceptance.
