The 26-year-old Juno actress said she is 'sick of lying by omission' and made her announcement at the Human Rights Campaign's Time To THRIVE conference for LGBTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning] youth in Las Vegas on Friday. In her speech, Ellen said she hoped her news would help others struggling with their sexuality, saying: 'I'm here today because I am gay. And because maybe I can make a difference. 'To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility.' Time to THRIVE organiser Human Rights Campaign tweeted the news and wrote: 'Congratulations, @EllenPage for taking the steps to live openly and come out as lesbian. #comingout #timetoTHRIVE (sic).' Ellen admitted she has found it difficult to be herself since shooting to fame in 2007's Juno. According to the Hollywood Reporter, she said: 'It's weird because here I am, an actress, representing - at least in some sense - an industry that places crushing standards on all of us. 'Not just young people, but everyone. Standards of beauty. Of a good life. Of success. Standards that, I hate to admit, have affected me. 'You have ideas planted in your head, thoughts you never had before, that tell you how you have to act, how you have to dress and who you have to be. I have been trying to push back, to be authentic, to follow my heart, but it can be hard.' Ellen mentioned other stars who she sees as courageous for coming out and revealing their sexuality. She cited football player Michael Sam, Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox, and lesbian identical twin musicians Tegan and Sara Quinn for being out and proud. And it didn't take long for Page to inspire her celebrity pals, who eagerly tweeted their support for her brave move. The Hollywood hunk tweeted: 'Props to @EllenPage for helping so many people through their daily struggles by courageously leading by example and coming out on V Day!' Tegan and Sara, whom Page mentioned by name in her speech echoed: 'Never underestimate the courage it takes to be yourself. Giant hugs to @EllenPage.' Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick had an enthusiastic reaction: 'Mad mad mad mad mad mad crazy love and praise for @EllenPage today. Congrats to you, you light, talent, and beauty.'
