Man you can tell how terrified she is through the entire thing. The heavy breathing, the shaky voice. Good for her. She was incredible.
Jessica Girdner She was speaking like some stranger - like when she learned english over another language
Pure beauty!
Pure shit!
Dot Net your brains lol
She always sounds like that lol
When she comes out and everybody starts cheering, she takes on this macho pose, you can tell she's more confident.
+Jichael Mackson Agree. But not only that but you can clearly see she was soooo nervous and when she says that, I bet it felt like a huge relief and burden lifted from her.
+AngelBellz she doesn't do a macho pose.... -.- the is swinging from one food to the other and does not know what to do while just waiting for the massive applause to end.
thats because when ur supported on something so serious u feel a lot better go ellen page😄😄👏👏👏💪💪💪💪
she was like stfu I'm tryin to speak
at 5:35 you can hear her whisper "Yess" as a relief of coming out :)
You can hear the fear in her voice and how much she wants to come out then the relief when she does. It is so hard to watch yet her smile once the audience cheers, is so wonderful. Brave young woman.
it's cause she wants to be a man, her voice still has that fear till this day, watch her interviews on umbrella academy, also look at her face, she is clearing taking something to make herself look more manly.
@@DaminionC nah
@@DaminionC no thats just how she presents herself
@@DaminionC whoa you nailed it!
@@DaminionC what if the real reason was that she had eaten something that sit bad in her stomach and felt
The diarrhea coming?
She didn't ONCE look down at her notes. She really spoke from her heart and you can tell she meant every word. Truly inspiring !!
Siobhan _ you know those square clear things project her notes for her right?
she learns lines for a living.
She has two autocues. X
(just in case)
Seriously, why gay people get support? Isn't that normal??
@@shahilkv6754 there are cruel people in the world who think being gay isn't normal, who discriminate against, bully and harass gay people, that's why gay people need support
Everytime I watch this speech I feel like I can hear a huge stone falling from her heart. So touching.
***** I can hear a stone falling from both mine and her heart...
+Illusion of Life same here :')
yeah true
You mean from “his” heart
Turns out there was another stone. I'm happy for him.
Aw poor baby you can tell how nervous she is about giving the speech and coming out. And it was such a beautiful speech. I love her authenticity.
Anna Lam shes not nervous that's her voice lol
" I'm here today, because I'm gay "
one of the greatest content in lesbian meme culture
This is America
d well I am pansexual
@@jamesdalrymple6259 yeah, and?
And I am iron man
I love how confident she gets after she says I am gay lol
2kxsavage I know right, she becomes so passionate. I also love how she talked about others and their struggles too.
Like she dropped a ton from her back. Pure beauty.
He
No she wasn't, she was freaking nervous and didn't know how to react to the claps the crowd was giving to her.
"If we took just 5 minutes to recognise each other's beauty."
Beautifully communicated. Very moving.
Recognize*
(I'm joking, guys.)
Ben Johnson
Umm sorry but recognise is correct. That is the way it is spelt in U.K and the Commonwealth, Americans spell it recognize. It doesn't make "recognize" the correct spelling.
ali sial Hmm. Ali, maybe the reason why I said "I'm just kidding, guys" is because I'm aware of the fact that we Americans spell some words differently, and I was just kidding when I "corrected" his spelling, when he obviously isn't American. Do you even sarcasm?
ali sial Well maybe he just lives in America and that's how we spell it, so shut up, we don't need you here
Or maybe you spelt it that way because you actually thought recognize was the universally correct spelling, and just wanted to be a grammar nazi. I was just pointing it out. And Joel Hochstein ..who do you mean by "we"? and don't want me where?
Fuck yeah, I'm bisexual!
Beautiful speech, makes me feel like I can do anything.
Same here!
john doe And you're close-minded and idiotic.
+john doe Westboro Baptist Church called. They're looking for you.
john doe Sure, I am.
Liam Green Bahahha, yes.
5:24 - whether you are, straight, gay, bi, whatever - that collective "Wait, what?" moment from the audience and then them losing their shiznit is pure magic :D
+Jayfive276 5:23 Try it. ONE second earlier.
You can hear a pin drop and then suddenly “WOOOOOOO!!!!”
I won't lie, I like her from Beyond 2 souls, now I love her. Her personality. Go girl
You obviously can't read, */-...
NATA B-A-K-A same haha
NATA B-A-K-A and the last of us ❤
Kyla Schmitt Not really
Kyla Schmitt She wasn't in the last of us. Her model was first made after her. But she made the choice to not voice Ellie.
When she actually came out, it reminded me of when Tony Stark said he was Iron man to the public, but this was immeasurably better
lmao
Daniel A queue in that 1 black Sabbath song.
Neee ne neee ne ne ne ne ne ne nee ne ne ne neeee neeee ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne.
Daniel A rip tony
You can hear her voice trembling. It took massive courage to do this.
llessa I'm pretty sure that wasn't going through her head.
That is some of the biggest bull shit I have ever heard.
Edit: it was directed at IIessa. apparently you can´t reply to another reply on a phone.
Her voice is always like that though
llessa You're a fucking idiot
llessa I kinda wish that was true because then I'd be rich and able to watch tv shows just filled completely with gay people.
THE FACT THAT THEY CHANGED HIS NAME IN THE TITLE OF A 6 YEAR OLD VIDEO JDKDJDKDJDKDJK IDK WHY IT MAKES ME THIS HAPPY
IKR IT MAKES MY HEART SO HAPPY 🥺
IKR??
omg i just noticed OMGG IM SO HAPPY TOO 😭😭
I just saw this after coming to check cos someone was defending historical deadnaming and I thought "I bet I know one group who won't do that", so glad to see I was correct in that assumption.
@r0bz Not really, no.
I can't explain how much this touched me
Did you consent though?
For her? Totally ;)
^^^ mood
A very articulate and moving speech that brought me to tears. I applaud her for taking this brave decision to come out.
Couldn't have summed it up better.
you can hear in her entire speech how nervous and emotional she was about the whole thing. it was a huge event for her, and so honestly presented. cheers, ellen, you are supported
GO ELLEN !
love u mark
Amei tudo que ela disse
MarkE Miller ew your toxic for the gays go away
@@LanaDelReySupremacy what
@@claws811 idk i posted thay 3 years ago god knows
You can just see at 5:19 that she is willing herself to go through with it and not back out. Bravery is a beautiful thing to see on someone so vulnerable in the moment.
honestly, Ellen Page can make a BETTER president than Donald or Hilary
+Lars Adams yeah, nope...
Why do you guys think that?
stupid fuck
KillerQueen000 who me?
im glad you are so close to her with the ability to tell us those things about her
Even claping here at home. Kinda crazy, I'm alone in this room, no one will ever see or here it, but I don't care, I needed to.
To the ignorant people: It takes a lot of courage to come out, more than you think it's worth. A person finding their identity is a huge deal, no matter who you are. Just because you can't make a difference doesn't mean she can't. Even with her speech she can motivate others to be themselves. You are ignoring the significant meaning behind being oneself, it impacts a person's whole life. If you ever cared to understand, you'll at least listen instead of speaking such ignorant words. There are still millions of others suffering, just because it worked out in one place doesn't mean other countries in the world are fine.
Trust me, i came out on new years day, it was tough...
Huntork Tim Congratulations! You did right, it's better to be you than who others wants you to be.
im a young 22 year old straight Christian man and i have taken a lot of hate from people because I ACCEPT AND SUPPORT EQUAL RIGHTS AND GAY RIGHTS! i don't know why its so hard for people to accept others for who they are despite their differences? why is it so hard for people to accept others of different religion, gender, race, and most of all sexual preference? we cant control who we love so why the hell do others think they have the right to control it for us?
Kyn Hardin I feel that those who try to control the rights of other humans are doing it out of selfishness. They are trying to make themselves feel comfortable, and using religion as an excuse to reason. You are borned to be loved as who you are, and society is moving forward. Those left behind are conformist to their selfishness and when one day they have a heart to accept it they'll feel that hatred is the worse feeling.

Two years later, still as powerful as when I first watched it.
+Blinky Lass I agree, but I worry that she seems to have hd less movie roles after coming out.
Six years and still
One of my school friends came out to me 2 years ago. He texted me that he needed to talk to me about something on Monday, and I spent the whole weekend stressing out about what the hell it was he was gonna tell me. I thought he was gonna reproach me something, that he'd get in a fight with me and I might lose him as a friend. I bet you already guessed what it is he was to tell me... So we were both sitting at a table and he was kinda avoiding the subject, talking in a light-hearted tone as if nothing was going on, but I could tell something was wrong and I was scared. And then, out of the blue, he throws me "I'm gay", as if he was talking to me about the weather. I froze for a sec. At first, I thought it was a joke. When I realized it wasn't, I processed what I just had heard for a sec and sighed. "That's it?", I told him. "That's what you needed to tell me?". "Yes", he answered anxiously, but looking relieved at the same time. And then I told him "God, I am SO RELIEVED". I bet he wasn't expecting an answer like this one. "I thought you were mad at me for some reason, I spent the whole weekend stressing about this conversation". And I was almost mad at him. "Why are you making such a big deal out of it? I fucking don't care whether you're gay or straight, you're my friend!".
Yes, that was my reaction. I was relieved. That's how everyone should feel when someone they love comes out to them. Because it means they don't have serious issues. They're not ill. They're not dying. They're not leaving the country forever. They're not announcing bad news. They're just telling you who they really are. And that is the most precious gift someone can ever give you. If they're willing to tell you, it means that they love you and that your support means everything to them. It means they care what you think about them and worry you might not love them anymore when you find out who they really are. No one should ever feel that way. When someone comes out to you, they're just looking for the support and the strength it takes to be themselves in a world full of hateful and intolerant people. If you can't give it to them, if you can't simply say "I love you no matter what and all I want is for you to be happy", then it's you that are sick, not gay people.
To all of you who are reading my comment, all of you who are struggling right now and feel helpless, hopeless and worthless, just know that you all are beautiful people, no matter your skin color, your origin, your religion. No matter your gender identity, your sex, your sexual orientation. No matter your size, your weight, no matter how you look or what your voice sounds like. No matter your disabilities and weaknesses. Don't ever let people make you doubt that you deserve to be loved and happy. Don't ever let bullies take your strength and dignity. Don't let anyone ever bring you down. Your happiness belongs to you and to you only, and no one can take that away from you. It's up to you to accept who you are and embrace it. You all have what it takes to stand up for yourselves and be proud of whatever makes you different from others. Your difference is your strength and your beauty. Love yourself and you'll see people will love you too (and if they don't, it's their loss, not yours!).
Clem Verona, Thank You so much for writing this, this comment as well as Ellen's Speech are inspiring to the community and you're making a big difference!
Thank you so much. I need this. 💜
Wish you all the best and that you are feeling fine. :>
wow. what a beautiful and well-written comment. i honestly teared up a little lmao. thank you
This is the most beautiful comment I have read so far, I'm glad that I scrolled down to read the comments. Friend, your opinion about whether or not to make a statement really struck a cord for me.
Thank u for writing this comment. I almost cried reading it i will forever remember your story and your words
I can't believe the comments I'm reading. What's funny is that people are claiming that homosexuality isn't a problem anymore, saying that what she did isn't brave and she only did it for publicity. Meanwhile other comments are talking about how homosexuality is a sin and a mental disorder. Other people are making disgusting jokes about her sexuality, probably because they can't take this seriously.
These are all reasons why she needed to make this speech. As long as there are comments like these, we need people that fight for LGBT. As long as there are comments like these we will also need feminism. These things exist for a reason, people. And it's not about being gay. It's about being human, and having the right to live. I'm not gay but some of the things she said meant a lot to me.
This isn't about her being gay, it's about knowing that you have just as much right as anyone else to be here.
Yes! Exactly how I'm feeling, and it's even worded better.
Well said, Stefi B. You deserve 1,000,000 likes.
I need a reason to hate people who have nothing to do with me!
Judy Cho and *****, thank you. :)
She IS brave! ..and it sickens me to see many of the hate comments below :(
Guys, whether you like her sexuality or not, there is no excuse for the discrimination, or anyone to deny she's speaking the truth. Even if she wasn't speaking the truth, she would know, not any of you.
Don't make excuses to say "Ohh she's faking it" "She should stop crying, nothing to be brave about" Etc.
I feel that only the LGBT community will know what it's like. Society doesn't oppress people for being straight or teach that it's "unnatural" to be heterosexual. You don't "hide in the closet" for loving someone of the opposite sex (meaning, you don't hide FOR that reason. Anyone can keep their feelings about a person secret).
I believe everyone should love who they are, but just remember that the pride and all the fuss over equality doesn't come from no where.
Gender roles are not needed here. You should never be told to be a certain way because of what body parts you have. Just be yourself.
None of you are to judge her.
It's UA-cam. I could write a doctoral thesis on why UA-cam hate comments mean less than nothing.
Coming back here after Elliot has moved even further down his path to love and self-acceptance, and it's both surreal and heartwarming to see how far he's come in less than a decade. Keep doing you, Elliot. We love you
Bi and proud (and always knew about Ms. Page, long before this coming out). Equal, free love. End the hate.
Note to self: When a UA-cam video has to do with human rights and equality, DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS. This is the site where you'll get called a Nazi for preferring one gaming console to another.
EkumPokum I hope to God your comment was in jest, because my username has nothing to do with Jews...

I was just joking man, just playing off of your comment is all.
EkumPokum Ah, good, good. As indicated, you can never be too sure on this site. Don't worry, I thumbed you up to make up for it.
I'm a lesbian and I'm proud of it and all my friends accepted me for who I am and I'm happy to tell the hole world I'm gay
That's awesome to hear
Niome Swann What's a "hole world"?
Hadrian Gores It's a world full of holes. Didn't you listen? She's a lesbian.
You go girl

Gotta love how quickly they changed his name to Elliot in the title after his recent coming out. Just goes to show that even though it's 6 years old, this video is still important and viewed frequently by so many.
why they changed it ? she's still a women
@@ivra6345 Have you heard the news? Ellen came out as a transgender man almost a year ago, and now goes by Elliot. His pronouns are he/him and they/them.
@@spicebag_ she's a women what you're talking about ? They/them but she is one why use they/them this is nonsens ? And I don't know what you're thinking but she is a women
@@ivra6345 Check out the Vanity Fair article from last December, featuring a statement from Elliot himself about coming out as trans. I think you'll be quite surprised.
@@spicebag_ so in that article she's saying why she use they/them besides the fact that she's one person ?
Wow, they already changed the name in the title, that was fast
I loved how everyone was like "yaaaaas!" when she came out lol. Bravo Ellen, Hollywood needs more smart and articulate women like her.
"Brava" She is a girl, bravo is for guys
Giubob420 wow. it doesn’t matter
Giubob thats a stupid thing why would it matter
@@giubob1862 well I got news for you he came out as trans
@@yehet_squish she *
Reading these comments is horrible. I don't understand how people can watch this video (I assume you watch if you comment) and still NOT GET IT. I don't get it, when she just said to be less horrible towards each other, this comment section is so filled with hate. It seriousley gets me depressed.
I agree with your comment. I have seen some horrifying things in this comment section.
Thank God I'm not the only one who feels that way then
It will take long for people to accept gays and lesbians. It will take forfuckingever. But one day, and this is for sure, minds will open up.
We just have to wait for it, let the haters shout until they're out of voice.
I'm straight and I think there os nothing wrong with liking a person who has the same gemder as you. I don't understand that why people can't apperciate the fact that she likes girls
I absolutely agree with you! It's so sad..
“And I am here today this video because...
I’m gay”
( I’m actually crying now )
can't stop looking at her right hand striking the table lol... she was so nervous (but cute)
Why are there so many stupid and ignorant comments saying this like, "Oh wow I could've pounded that so hard.", or, "It's a shame she's a lesbian." Was she ever going to let you fuck her anyways? It makes me so angry how some people didn't grasp the message she was trying to get across, and how that's the initial thought that comes to their minds. Even if she was straight, the fact that she is gay doesn't break the fact that she's an amazing, intelligent human being. I'm proud of her having the courage to face her fears and come out to the world. No matter what, we'll always love and support you Ellen
This. 50% of comments are homophobic, the other 50% are stupid guys who only think of her as a vagina...
Her speech was so moving and authentic. I've loved all of her movies and she's not just an amazing actress, but an amazing person. I have hope that people like Ellen will help the movement make enough changes in this world so when I have kids they will not be surprised or confused when someone says "I'm gay".
This made me cry so much. I am currently trying to find the strength to tell my parents that I am Queer.
I am almost crying
I'm crying too... I'm so scared to tell my family I'm bi.
My brother has Aspergers and I'm scared it will make it hard for him to understand.. And I'm scared my mum will not love me anymore. She's from South America where there is a lot of homophobia and gay hate.... My mum finds gays a bit strange and I'm so scared she'll hate me... I think my dad might be half ok with it...
I'm only fourteen and before when I tried to tell my mum she just told be I'm too young to know..
TMCP why don't you go find a psychiatrist to help you with your hateful thoughts?? I feel sorry for people like you who go round spreading nothing but hate, I hope you get better xx
WhinnyTheHorse I'm in a very similar situation. My parents are Christians and don't feel that homosexuals are good people. I'm worried that if I tell them they'll kick me out the house. Well, good luck to you, I hope it all goes well for you xxxx
I hope you found the strength and everything was ok?
This makes me feel a warm tingling sensation thank you Ellen for the best speech ever given now
Me, too. Right down in my plums.
No, Mussolini’s speeches were better than this bitch’s
@@ggbro7942 why the fuck are you commenting on a dead comment thread, moron? But what can you expect from a low iq fascist lol

GGbro If you can even find the good in Mussolini you can find good in about anyone.
*This is something everyone needs to see.*
Thank you Ellen Page for being so brave, and for giving the best speech I've seen in a long time. And as she said, thank you Human Rights Campaign for making the world a better place for everyone.
Not shown on-camera: moments after this speech Willem Dafoe ran onto the stage screaming, kidnapped her, and forced her to re-enact the entirety of Beyond: Two Souls while David Cage took notes.
Will never forget watching this for the first time just over two years ago as a young little 17 year old. Finally came out to myself on that early morning before school. Remember crying to myself in the shower just after, a moment that changed my life forever really. One of the best moments of my life and I haven't looked back. Still watch this video every once in a while. It gets better.
Before I came out I watched this video every night for a week. Meant a lot to me then and still does when I watch it occasionally now.
looking at the comments looks like im time travelling 😭😭 literally only person watching this in 2020 holy shit
I’m here with you... it’s so strange
Speedwagon... You’re alive :O
wassup
Yoo... im here cuz im gonna be honest... ive been really homophobic in my life and I really wanna change that, but idek what to think right now
@@Flipper1234Gaming can i ask? what do you to think of gay people?
This kid at my table at lunch said he doesn't support gay rights today. He sure as hell is not going to sit there tomorrow.
Chris- I can understand your feelings but if you are ever going to change that kid's viewpoint you're not going to do it by shunning them.
Subtle things, little positive comments and items made over time stand a chance of better chance of helping him see the light of reason than isolating him.
Also, many people who make homophobic remarks do so because they are repressing their own sexuality.
You don't have to tolerate hate speech. A simple, "We don't say things like that." is often enough to make them stop using the (other) f-word or "That's so gay."
I wish you all the best and hope that you and your friends can set an example that helps that kid change.
yea good for you! spread more hate in your defense of opposing hate......genius... oh yea thats right your talking about a lunch table in some shit school doesnt matter any way
I appreciate all of the feedback and let me say that we were all talking about how equal rights is an amazing movement and he interjected with saying that being gay "is a choice so they don't deserve it". I don't consider it shunning because the way he treats others made everyone extremely uncomfortable so I asked him to simply go somewhere else if he wished to continue sewing his ignorance and hatred. I'm glad to see all of the support towards the Human Rights Campaign and I hope it continues.
Lol that came out wrong I guess...
"I am young, yes, but what I have learned is that love, the beauty of it, the joy of it and yes, even the pain of it, is the most incredible gift to give and to receive as a human being. And we deserve to experience love fully, equally, without shame and without compromise." Wise words.. don't ever forget them! :)
Life returns to us only what we give to others...Thanks Daniela

One of the best speech ever in favor of LGBT in my opinion.
IT WOULD BE TRULY EASIER TO LIVE IN A WORLD WERE PEOPLE AREN'T HORRIBLE AND JUDGMENTAL TO EACH OTHER.
I identify myself as a bi with a certain propension into boys...I haven't "come out" yet, but I don't really feel like doing it..I mean, I desire a world were homosexuals, bi and lesbian people can answer at "who's your crush?" with "oh, this boy/this girl" with absolute naturality and ease, but yet I still fear doing it.
I still perceive a veil of hate towards people who aren't straight, and the bigots who claim not to be homophobes but then always come off with the fucking "but..." are still really strong in my opinion.
I lied about my sexuality more than once...more than twice...and nobody truly know who my TRUE crushes were (and are) and even when I had the chance to CORRECTLY answer the crush answer I had internally panic attacks considering to let them truly know and I always answered "nobody" or "this girl" (but the fact that I even have some girl crushes doesn't make me feel like i'm truly lying [ex. I like alot Rihanna's, Beyoncé's and Lana's physiognomy]).
But still NOBODY knows that i'm BI, and the flashback of my mother slapping me thrice about 9 years ago, because I was typing on the PC that I loved one of my boy classmates, stops me even more...now I'm about to turn 18 and I don't really know how she feels about it, but I still have another flashback that when I was a little kid, I was in my bed asking my dad if he would've loved me even if I was bi/gay and he said "Yes, of course. How can you even think of your dad not loving you?"
Today my biggest crush in on one of my boy classmates (who's taken -.-) but who cares...you know, the "How is it called when your crush likes you back? IMAGINATION" is almost a fact that applies to like 80% and more people of any sex/sexuality so it don't really bothers me.
I lie about my sexuality every day as bi as well. Wouldn't it be amazing if someone could be like, "Who's your celebrity crush?" and I could go "I like this guy, and this girl is really awesome."
I'm gay and tbh it is really quite hard.
Yeah my friends and family are like "any boys you're crushing on" And I'm like ;-;
+Fleetato Eew
+R. Jackson eew
She looked so nervous leading up to it all.. she looked like she was ready to jump out of her skin the entire speech.
Even with all that, the message rang clear about love, compassion, and the hope we all fight for in a more positive future. Great job, and thank you for adding your voice to this discussion as a Canadian personality, too.
Noooooooo now i can never have any chance on Ellen Page who is 10 year older, rich, beurtifull, succesfull, hollywood acctress, who lives in Amarica, who has thousands of other people to choosh from :(
I like your profile picture :D
moiramoo101 Fairy tail
I was a kid when i watched this video. I was playing Beyond Two souls and searched more about him. This very video, was the first time in my life i saw a queer person in any kind of media that wasn’t in a derogatory way. That changed me forever. Thank you so much Elliot, from the bottom of my heart. I am an adult today able to embrace my identity because you told my child self exactly what I needed to hear.
I went through a similar journey. I came out as lesbian at 19 years old, but even though I knew I was attracted to women, I never felt like I belonged in the lesbian community. It took a few years, but now, on Trans Day of Visibility 2023 that's just passed, at the age of 23, I've finally come out as non-binary/transmasc. It hurts when people say I was brainwashed, why can't I just stay a masculine lesbian, that I'm mentally ill, all the stuff that people also say about him all the time. I've learned that some people will feel entitled to your existence, that somehow if you stop identifying as a lesbian, then suddenly you're doing a disservice to all lesbians. Well I'm not your property, and neither is Elliot. Non binary/trans people aren't a trend. We should celebrate that our understanding of human gender and sexuality is ever-evolving and fluid as we find the words for feelings that people have always felt.
💜💜💜 Beautifully said!
You will regret it woman
Such inspirational words - Thank you Ellen.
Good for her! We all need to judge less and love more! Everyone is entitled to their own and to be loved! I am straight but I do feel it is nobody else's business to judge.
I didn't start crying until about halfway through, because her eloquence and love are so shiny and beautiful. Then it got more personal and I cried more.
Yep.. same here...
Is she really turning 27 in a week? She looks 16!
Same. The moment when she says she's here because she's gay is really emotional too.
Her voice was so trembly, her fear palpable and real.
you took the words right out of my mouth--thanks
Coming back to this now and I still just love it so so so so so much. And as someone who once thought they were gay, and then figured out I’m a trans guy.... damn. I love this human so much. Thank you Elliot!!
@r0bz their name is Elliot. They are trans.
Now I understand why this people call themselves “they”
But Jesus asked him: “What is your name?” And he replied: “My name is Legion, because there are many of us.
I cry every time I watch this video 😪😪😪
Yep. If I ever want to cry, UA-cam->search->Ellen page coming out. Every goddamn time
Bethany Francia me too
Bethany Francia Haha me too. Ps you’re hot.
Im bisexual and I have a girlfriend. Im too afraid to tell any of my family. Ive told some of my friends and they're suportive about it, but some have completely turned on me..
Me and my girlfriend get bullied, even though we havent come out. I hope one day I can tell people my secret, without being judged...
Those people who have turned on you are not your friends and I seriously doubt they ever were. If they were your friends, they'd have support you and stood by your side. As to coming out to your family, I believe in you and I'm sure you can do it. It's hard but you have the strength to do so.
If some of your friends make a mistake, you totally should point out and try to direct them the right way.
I think it`s the message your friends those who turned on you were trying to tell you.
吳 Randy I partly agree with you. Yes, we should be honest with our friends and let them know what's right or wrong, but in this case that's completely uncalled for. Being bisexual is not a mistake. No one should ever stop supporting anyone due to their sexual orientation.
I agree with you Tatiana I grew up in a very christain home and community and was raised that homosexuality was wrong I know believe that ppl should be allowed to love whoever they want who is it for us to tell someone else how they feel
foggymorning27 Thank you. And exactly. The thing is I have a really hard time understanding why someone's love life affect some people so much to the point where they take action to prevent others of living a fully happy life. I respect all religions, but in my opinion religious laws should only be applied to people who practice that same religion, you know? And I'm glad you have such an open mind, regardless from how you were raised.
SHE'S FREAKING AMAZING & A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING!
I’m glad they changed the title even after 6 years.
ikr!
....so no Ryan ending?
Hahahaha
Tmoneu Wouldn't it be awesome if the game had a lesbian ending?! :D
Tmoneu i love u
I love you for that comment XD
OMG LOL! B2S has been so long ago. Wow. The rush back of memories i wactched of gameplays. lol
Some of the comments here are just mindbogglingly stupid... it's unbelievable.
I feel like everyone's gay nowadays, it's like people be shocked to know that you're straight.
Paul Houde ahaa :D
Everyone? Name any other young out lesbian actress.
They just want to have the same right. Then they shout out their pride !
I think the human rights will win this battle when we will not have to make some difference between this two kind of sexuality anymore. When our sexuality will be something like the color of our hair. When everyone will born as a human being not a supposed straight human being.
They are just not afraid that much to come out nowadays. And that is a good thing. Isn't it? :-)
REALLY dumb comment hanaa2156
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING HIS CORRECT NAME IN THE TITLE! WELL DONE! RESPECT!
Ellen....
I hope they receive the same support this time round. go elliot!
I am 100% a hetero male, but I stand by @EllenPage 100000+%. I sincerely love her and will ALWAYS support her works! This was brave and honest...it even got me misty-eyed. If anyone can inspire and change the world, its her! #respect
Beautiful.
***** now kiss.
yes
If I Trump or Cruz wins presidency it would literally inspire me to become an activist and fly over to the US to help fight for LGBT rights.
I love you because you said that
😊👏💪
+Busher50 I'll come with you!
+Busher50 Just FYI, as fucked up as Trump is, he's historically been pretty pro-LGBT.
+Nisa kılıç I love him/her too
AND NOW HE IS TRANS! I admire Elliot so much. This is incredible. When he first came out I could not imagine his bravery, and now, seeing him reveal his true self to us, is just incredible. Watching this old video makes me tear up. I’m so proud and happy for Elliot Page.
"I'm so shocked," said no one, ever.
But, seriously. Good for her.
My dad told me if I ever became a lesbian he'd "step and stop it". He criticises me because I "defend lesbians" and because I "dress like a boy". He thinks that people have to "dress of their gender" because it's "normal" and it's bad to be "different". Now I fear that my sister will not grow up with the resentment of his racism, homophobia, transphobia and arrogance, like I have.
I am also confused about my sexuality but I am also afraid.
*"Step in and stop it"
Beautiful and incredible speech.
As a trans woman and a advocate for trans rights, I applaud and embrace HRC's mission. Stay strong dear ones! 🏳️🌈
LGBTQ, Liberty Guns Bible Trump BBQ, that is what it stands for, if you don’t agree deal with it
Well, good on Ellen Page for this. She definitely delivered a great speech. Just a shame that the comments (and associated "thumbs up" on those comments) for this on UA-cam reflect just how petty, ignorant, and intolerant many people still are.
UA-cam is a cesspool of idiotic, bigot comments...
If you can differentiate the trolls then it's just humanity.
I signaled these hateful comments. You guys should do the same. This harassment/hate incitation should not be here.
Some people ask why other people give a gay coming out so much importance, well easy answer, cause most people asume people are straight, and with so much hate to gays in this world, its obvious why this is applauded, cause it takes courage to come out as gay, you can see how nervous she is in her speech. Maybe people accept gays more nowadays but that doesnt mean the hatred for them is gone.. so please, if you dont like this, dont watch this, and keep your comment to youserlf.
***** and everyone has the right to attack stupid and ignorant people, like you.
Violeta ComoElColor just ignore him its a waste of time talking to people like this
Andy Bi you are so right! People like him just want attention! thanks :)
***** HAHA well come and get me kid
***** Hahaha now you are "attacking" me in my channel hahah og god how old are you, go to bed already kid
I used to watch this every other day when I was 13 and now I'm almost 18 and I'm in a much better place with who I am and I will literally never forget how important this video was for me
All of these comments make me slightly uncomfortable because they were written before he came out as trans, but I love that the video title was changed!
@r0bz No HE is not, why do you even care so much about him being transgender, does it make you feel bad about your useless miserable self?
@r0bz why do you care so much lmao
@r0bz I don’t really but I just wanted to understand why people think this way, if you don’t want to answer that’s fine
@r0bz idk what obesity has to do with what I’m asking but I’m guessing you just don’t have an answer and you want attention soo ok then
I think it's disappointing that this speech had to happen, and organisations like this have to exist, for them to have to fight for what should be the norm
But its good that they do exist in a world of doubt, misunderstanding and intolerance. One day we will all just be people!
Goo power Oh definitely, no question. I just hope I can live to see the day when that happens though
We will Alex, with people who care like her and us, we will. I have no doubt in my mind.
Goo power :)
People are saying who cares, but i think her doing this brings out the courage in other young people to do the same. It's leading by example, showing young and sometimes older people that it's ok to be gay. It's not a disease, it's who you are and nobody should be ashamed of who they are.
And the person who wrote the disgusting comment "i'd kill my daughter blah blah blah" you are what is wrong with this world not your daughter. What gives you the right to stop her being happy?
I think the fact that they can relate this speech to themself directly, instead of just being a celebrity lending their support to a worthy cause, just makes this moment historic. You go Elliot, you're a hero for the 21st Century 🏳️🌈 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
shes no hero you sheep
The 21st century is shit, and this bitch ain’t no hero. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
the magas in the comments are just so pathetic i love it
@@ggbro7942 donny isn't gonna save america, he's gonna drive it toward fascism. but then again i think you want that.
@@nikkidevitz trump is evil, but ellens a POS.
A powerful speech from a beautiful person.
I would like to take this opportunity to say 'I'm straight" I like the opposite sex and i'm tired of hiding, so I hope you all support me. thank you.
yeah me to I am straight i like the opposite sex where my standing ovation
That was very brave, I know how much straight people hate other straight people.
What a brave person coming out and letting the world know you are straight. Golf clap...
Pioneer bro your a damn pioneer for the straight community let me tell ya. lol
Sinns Depth Wow you are so forward-thinking. I completely agree that being gay should be so widely accepted that you don't need a standing ovation for being brave enough to come out. Congratulations on being a good person because I fully believe that was the intention of your comment.
it kind of annoys me about how this will change a lot of peoples perception of her, many of the gay community will start singing her praise and suddenly love her, and all the homophobic assholes will hate her. i've liked her for a long time, because she is a great actress, her sexuality has nothing to do with that. but i applaud your courage ellen, it was a great speech.
Yes but you can love her for the things that she do (as an actress) and you can love her for the things that she fight for (LGBT rights) I like some people that do great job and activities but I don't like them for who they are.
she's still great to me.
fan4lyfe
"many of the gay community will start singing her praise and suddenly love her"
Yeah, God forbid a group admires someone for something they do... *rolls eyes*
its great that the community has more role models and all, but many will just like her because she is gay- not due to her talents or personality. its just they are jumping on the bandwagon, it shouldn't annoy me i know but it does somewhat. (sorry if that comes off as ignorant or anything its not intentional)
Aeryn7Sun I know what you mean, I get annoyed at those things sometimes too (the inner hipster in all of us, I guess). But considering the alternative would be her still being in the closet and not completely herself, then it's better that she comes out, "bandwagon fans" and all. Also, I'm positive most gay people already loved her anyway. :P
I've seen this video multiple times, and everytime the emotion gets over me. Now seeing the title with his chosen name made me cry of happiness. Im so proud, he's so brave.
I hope one day, we will live in a world where there will be no need for standing ovation after someone reveals their sexuality. I hope one day it won't be big deal and everyone can feel however they want with absolutely no shame.
i hope one day we can live in a world where sexuality and gender aren't assumed, but asked.
You can audible hear how scared and nervous she is, but she stood up for herself and was genuine to us with complete bravery. Miss Ellen Page, you are a BAMF.
Wonderful speech. But it saddens me to still see a lot of homophobic comments here.
the fact that they changed his name after coming out! i love this
@r0bz you didn't quite get the point, huh?
@r0bz should i repeat my question?
@r0bz it's so sad that you have to hurt people's feelings on purpose without any reason just because you have to compensate your own identity problems ;(
i absolutely love this women..why? i am but a simple lesbian
i absolutely love this woman... why? i am nothing but a simple pansexual.
@@nikkidevitz same
He’s an icon in the community 💕
@@spotted9106 you’re stupid
@@user-eh8nc5zh2z I mean, he's right
Women, now we know how you feel about Neil Patrick Harris...
Are you talking about straight people or something...
TheCroco99 You are right, but you could also give him a break. There are about 20 times more straight women than lesbians, and, being a straight male, he cares about the sexual idols of an average straight woman about a 1000 times more than those of an average lesbian. This makes it 20 000 times more relevant for him what straight women feel about sex idols. OK, since all this discussion is under a video of a lesbian coming out, let's multiply the momentary relevance of lesbians for him by a 100. It's still 1 to 200.
Dude what are you even going on about.
TheCroco99 It was about your comment, but never mind...
Aww she was so nervous. I applaud her courage for doing this. People just want to be accepted.
Yeah her arm was shaking and in a way, I think she was relieved or surprised that people cheered.
They were so nervous here
2:27 *_"Or you go home, and you feel like you can't your parents the whole truth about yourself."_* Literally me.
So many people are complaining about her getting an applause when she announced she was gay. You guys dont understand that she isnt getting applauded because of the simple fact that shes gay. Shes getting applauded because she finally got the courage to come out. Its hard as a celebrity to come out as being gay, because maybe you wont get movies, youll lose fans, etc. She did this because she thinks more people in the LBGTQ community will have the courage and strength to come out as well. This is an issue though, because this is adding on to the lives we lose every day because of suicide and even murder. People are dying because other people cant accept the fact that others are gay. Its hard, as i have first hand experience, to figure out who you are. Im questioning myself. But enough about me. Im hoping that with this video, people will be more open with families, friends, etc about being lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or questioning. Congratulations Ellen(:
I understand what you mean. I too am Gay (female) It takes allot of courage to come out to others and admit your gay. I still am unable to tell my family because they hate those sorts and would disown me. But i will open up and say it soon. I must because i can't hide from what i am. And can't stand the arguements of my family dissing the gays and trans .
Best of luck, Roy! I wish you joy.
roy mustang like i said before, im questioning. Im not sure how my family will react to it. Ive been questioning myself for as long as i could remember. I feel they will accept me, but its always scary thinking going through with it. It scares me with friends as i dont want to be turned away. I, like others in the LGBTQ community that is closeted, am scared. I wish you the best of luck with your family!
all of the lesbians in the audience were like:"AAAaaw YEAAAAAH!'' LOL :P
While I was crying... XD
KingAaron411 Me too bro, me too T_T
You have no idea Johnny. ;)
Lol
KingAaron411 JohnnyLoco27 me three Q.Q
Honestly, I just come back every once in a while to rewatch this speech.
He's such a good person... This is what it means to be supportive and loving, this is who I love to be fan of. He's always been an amazing man... I'm rly proud of him, love u Elliot, you are an angel💙 Thank you for inspiring me, thank you for giving me hope, thank you for changing the world for people who need to be free.
Oh my god the fact that people have to ASK why she sounds like she's gonna cry is incredibly disturbing!! Are you all a bunch of sociopaths or you're overdosing on anti depressants or what?? Cause if you had any emotions you would instinctively understand it in your gut why she sounds like that while talking about hardship and personal things she's kept in so long.
Because someone can’t relate to a certain feeling does not mean they’re a sociopath.
@@chocolatedomo9847 186 people say otherwise.
Listen I am DROWNING in antidepressants and I was in tears before she even came out
No, she’s insane
GGbro who Ellen or the commenter?
Ich hätte nie für möglich gehalten, dass ich Ellen Page noch mehr mögen und respektieren könnte - aber sie hat es definitiv geschafft. Wenn man darüber nachdenkt, ist es dennoch traurig, dass ein Outing noch immer so eine große Sache ist, obwohl es in der Natur kaum etwas normaleres als Sexualität gibt. Es ist traurig, dass unsere Gesellschaft noch nicht so weit ist, Diversität in dieser, aber auch anderen Hinsichten voll und ganz zu akzeptieren. Hoffentlich erreichen wir diesen Punkt noch!
Danke, Ellen, für die inspirierende Rede!
mein freund du sprichst genau das aus was ich denke!
I love how they changed didn’t dead name Elliot in the title even though this video is like over 6 years old
The fact that u changed his name in the title!!🙏🥺
@r0bz no❤
@r0bz bahaha stfu
