Ellen Page reflects on reaction to her coming out

Ellen Page was on Good Morning America yesterday and, of course, was asked about her coming out on Valentine’s Day.

Rather than be tired of the question by now, she gave a really thoughtful and wonderful answer:

“The reaction [to coming out has] been really beautiful and I think it’s been so beautiful because, to me it’s so indicative of the change that’s happened and how society has evolved. And I couldn’t be more grateful for just the support I’ve had, and quite frankly for me, it was just pretty immediate, and I felt like all this toxicity and worry and baggage that I was carrying, just sort of vanished. I don’t think I could even have anticipated how happy I feel.”
